Rollup Fields - Field cannot be referenced as they have invalid definitions

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community member 2
We have rollup fields that calculate the total amount for invoices for each quarter in the prior year and for each quarter in the current year. We are trying to make the dates that are used in the filters be dynamically calculated so that users don't have to go in and update them every year. However, the rollup field on the account is giving an invalid definition error for the calculated dates. 
 
Below is the formula for PY_Q1_Start, the formulas for the other dates are essentially the same. Each field is giving the same error.
 
DateAdd(
    DateAdd(
        DateAdd(
            UTCToday(),
            -1,
            TimeUnit.Years),
        ((Month(UTCToday())-1)*-1),
        TimeUnit.Months),
    ((Day(UTCToday())-1)*-1),
    TimeUnit.Days)

    Hi Partner,
    After a simple test, the same error was encountered:
    It seems to be because this column is a formula column.
    Based on the following documentation:
    --Because of the limitations of the columns themselves
    I hope you can mark my answer verified if it is helpful! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
