Hello all! I have a somewhat tricky formula question that I’ve been banging my head against the wall over. I have a rollup field that compiles a list of dates. I’d like to pull the next date from that rollup field; in other words, the upcoming date that’s closest in time to today. Here’s an example of the field:



And what I’m looking for is a formula field that will output the following:

Row 1: 3/11/2023

Row 2: 11/30/2022

Row 3:12/29/2022


Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi @maradas, since each date field is its own record, what if you used a formula field to calculate the number of days between TODAY() and the date value?


From there, you could use a rollup field to get the lowest number of days and use that value to get the closest date


Edit: Ha, please ignore my suggestion and use Kamille’s solution below, it’s much much better


Set your Rollup field to only pull records that meet a condition: Date is after Today


Then use the MIN(values) aggregation.
