Hi Everyone, I am trying to create a saved search to pull a vendor who doesn’t have any transaction activity for 24 months. I have added the below filters under Summary. But, it is not giving me the result I want. Can someone please provide your input on this? Thanks.

Why do you need the date created and last modified criteria?
I think at the very least the date created one is severely limiting your results
n
Yeah, date created is not needed, Date field should be good enough. But, even though I just keep date field it is still not giving the expected results. Can you please let me know the exact criteria?
a
What results are incorrect? How do you know they are incorrect?
n
If I just keep the Date Created filter as shown in the attachment it gives the transactions created 24 months ago. But, what I want to see is vendors don’t have activity for 24 months.

I think you want to change it to MAX of Transaction:Date is on OR BEFORE 24 months ago

screenshot for reference.
I think we don’t need to add anything under criteria/summary except inactive=No and in the results, we need to add MAX of Transaction: Date and add a formula field to compare that with the current/system date to identify if it is over 24 months or not. I am not if that is possible using the formula. If you know there is a way to do it, please share your input. Thanks in advance.

Try this criteria MAX of Transaction:Date is ON OR BEFORE 24 months ago
n
Does it take the last transaction date and compare it if it is created 24 months ago from the current/system date?
a
Yes

Great, it seems this filter is working as I expected. Thank you so much🙏
One more question. If I need to pull vendors with zero activity can I use the below filter ?
I didn’t use Summary criteria, I just used “Standard,” thought this is sufficient. Please let me know.
a
The transaction:date IS empty would work to get vendors with no activity. I use transaction:internalid is empty but date should work to
You should use the summary criteria for the no transactions in the last 24 months But standard criteria should work for the no transactions search
n
The join of Transaction : Date will not work to identify vendors without transactions at all. It fails as their is no 'join" to any transactions. When I've done this I used a Formula (DATE) {transactions.trandate} IS EMPTY.
