SYNTAX ERROR “)” ON DATE RANGE












1















I'm trying to segregate records by month name for the first three months of the year. Everything with a date range of 1/1/19 through 1/31/19, should return JAN, for example.



I'm getting syntax errors of a missing parenthesis. Here's what I wrote:



IF(AND(Application__c.CreatedDate>=(2019,1,19),Application__c.CreatedDate<=(2019,1,31)),"JAN",IF(AND(Application__c.CreatedDate<=(2019,2,1),Application__c.CreatedDate<=(2019,2,18)),"FEB",IF(AND(Application__c.CreatedDate>=(2019,3,1),Application__c.CreatedDate<=(2019,3,31)),"MAR","")))

          Use a CASE function. Its much easier to write. Also, it will avoid issue in leap year.



          CASE(MONTH(PO_Received_Date__c),
          1, "January",
          2, "February",
          3, "March",
          4, "April",
          5, "May",
          6, "June",
          7, "July",
          8, "August",
          9, "September",
          10, "October",
          11, "November",

            the variable that you are using in Month Function is not a date

          Application__c.CreatedDate>=(2019,3,1)




          (2019,3,1) isn't a valid date format. In formulas, to create dates, you need to use the DATE(year,month,day). You can fix your code by adding DATE to your date values.



          Application__c.CreatedDate >= DATE(2019, 3 ,1)



          Issues with your code aside, it makes much more sense to use CASE on the MONTH of the date field instead.
