Flowfield for last six months

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I'm trying to put together a flowfield that will calculate whether a customer has purchased in the last 6 months.

I have tried many variations of the below CalcFormula below but keep getting "CALCDATE... is not a valid date"

Exist("Cust. Ledger Entry" WHERE (Posting Date=FILTER(> CALCDATE(<-6M>) ),Document Type=FILTER(Invoice),Customer No.=FIELD(No.) ) )

Another one I'd like to do is this for the previous financial year:

Posting Date=FILTER(-CY-1Y..CY-1Y)

EndDate:=TODAY;

InitDate:=CALCDATE('<-6M>',EndDate);

SETRANGE("Posting Date",InitDate,EndDate);

You need to do that using a flow filter and then apply your 6M filter to the FlowFilter to Calculate it. Check for example Inventory field on Item, it uses various flow filters.

Thanks Suresh. It does look like a FlowFilter is the way to go.

I would like the filter set by default though, and I notice on our system (not sure if it is a standard thing) on the Customer List the page loads with "Limit totals to: Where Date Filter is 01/01/18..31/12/18". Do you know where this gets done? Is it C/AL code on the page? Unfortunately I'm not a developer so can't see the code.

Yes, during the opening of the page you will set the flowfilter which will indeed calculate your flowfield.
