How to filter by comparing with other field in CalcFormula in FlowField

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

This works:

CalcFormula=exist(MyTestData where (MyDate = field("MyDate")));

But when I want to compare the dates like this:

CalcFormula=exist(MyTestData where (MyDate = filter (> field("MyDate"))));

I get a syntax error, at the opening bracket in field("MyDate").

Is this a bug, a missing feature, or is there another way to achieve this?

    You cannot apply a filter based on the field it has be a constant. The only way to achieve that is by creating a calculating field which you calculate the value onaftergetrecord of that page.  The field will not be part of the table it will be just a variable which you will calculate and use it on the page.

    Unfortunately, this also does not work:

    CalcFormula=exist(MyTestData where (MyDate >= field("MyDate"))));

    the error messages are:

    Hi,

    Can you try this CalcFormula=exist(MyTestData where (MyDate >= field("MyDate")));
