Hello all,


I would like to use an If formula:


Everything before a certain date should be “True”, everything after “False”.


When I write it like this, it doesn’t work:


IF(InvoiceDate<3/8/2021,1,2) (InvoiceDate is a Field in Type “Date” with Format “European”).


Do you have any idea and could you help me please? Thank you very much!

Hi @Sebastian_Apel


Airtable doesn’t recognise the “3/8/2021” as a date witch which it can work. You have to convert it into a date type using DATETIME_PARSE().


This should work:


IF(InvoiceDate<DATETIME_PARSE("03-08-2021", "DD-MM-YYYY"), 1, 2)

Hi @Databaser , thanks for your quick and good answer!


That has worked before. Now I immediately encountered another problem: I want to connect the IF function with another IF function.


If I do this as described below, the result is always “0”, even if the amount should be different.


Could you maybe help me again please? Thank you very much! 🙂


IF(InvoiceDate<DATETIME_PARSE(“03-08-2021”, “DD-MM-YYYY”), (IF((SUM(PaymentAmount,{CurrencyDifference})/{InvoiceAmount})=1,0,{InvoiceAmount}-PaymentAmount)), 0)

Try


IF(InvoiceDate<DATETIME_PARSE(“03-08-2021”, “DD-MM-YYYY”), IF(SUM(PaymentAmount,{CurrencyDifference})/{InvoiceAmount}=1,0,{InvoiceAmount}-PaymentAmount))



Try


IF(InvoiceDate<DATETIME_PARSE(“03-08-2021”, “DD-MM-YYYY”), IF(SUM(PaymentAmount,{CurrencyDifference})/{InvoiceAmount}=1,0,{InvoiceAmount}-PaymentAmount))
