Hello - trying to convert Accounting Period or Posting Period (ie Oct 2022) to a mm.dd.yyyy format in a saved search - how can I do this? Here is the formula I am trying but it is giving either Error - Field not found or Unexpected Error - to_date(ConCat('01 ', {postingperiod}), 'dd.mm.yyyy')
m
TO_CHAR({accountingPeriod.startdate}, '<http://dd.mm|dd.mm>.yyyy')
a
@michoel returning and "Error - Invalid Expression"
m
What type of search is this?
a
Transaction Search
I return the Accounting/Posting Period - but need that as a date - so have the formula set to try and return date.

Why can't you just use the native join for the date?

Actually - it works when I use text instead of date

Yup was about to say that
If you want a date then just use Account Period Fields... Start Date

Perfect - thanks for your help!
