I am building a GI that needs to be able to pull a user defined field date and perform calculations on it such as dateadd or datediff. When I try to do this I get a virtual field error message coming up on my gi. If this date field was stored in an attribute I know how to get the date value from the CS answers table but it seems that user defined Fields do not store the values in the CS answers table - where are these stored in how can I perform calculations against them?

I have cracked the code! we will use it in a filter and we use the where scheduled date is less than or equal to  @today for the today's schedule and the same formula + 1 for tomorrow's schedule etcetera

Hi @DanielStarke  I just verified in MYOB instance and validation is passed.

But when I check with GI result, actually it is NOT calculating the Date Difference, where as it is calculating in the Acumatica instance.

This might be the limitation of MYOB, but I’m NOT sure.

Hi @DanielStarke  I checked in Acumatica and it is working as expected, will check in MYOB instance and let you know here.

Hello @Naveen B  I have been told that the data fields are stored differently in MYOB Advanced (Which I use) 

 

@dipikaa62  - not sure if this is your acumatica handle, but… :)

Hi @DanielStarke Hope you are trying to get the difference between the Today and the Scheduled Date.

Please find the formula below for your reference.

=DateDiff( 'd', Today(), [SOOrder.AttributeNDATE])

=[SOOrder.AttributePCSCHEDDAT] - today() is the formula i have in my GI at present where the scheddat is an attribute connected to the Sales order UDF 

this is the message that pops up

Hello @Naveen B it is the same GI and scheduled date field we were working on yesterday. Link below. 

 

I want to be able to have a column that says the number of days ago that it was scheduled, as in something like Today() - scheduledate . But this will not work as the scheduled date is not accessible to do calculations on

 

I'm also having to do a slight add on to adjust the dates for our NZ timezone
