Problem with formula column in Model-Driven Application

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LuisElCaminante 12

Hi, I am creating a model-driven application.

I have problem with a formula column and this formula contains: 

DateAdd('Fecha de Asignación';3;TimeUnit.Years)

Problem.PNG

 

 

But when I click on save I get the following error: 

Expected operator. We expect an operator such as +, *, or & at this point in the formula
 

Not only that, when I try to save, it updates and adds semicolons (;) to my formula.

I check the formula and I don't see a problem with the error.

Any ideas or guidance please?

Thank you very much

    Try: DateAdd('Fecha de Asignación'; 3; Years)

    Hi @DRR 

    Thank you for your support and time.

    I also tried it and got the same error.

    In the end what I did was:

     

    'Fecha de Asignación' + 365*3
     
    But it is not quite accurate, I would like to increase 3 years with the DateAdd function, but I get the above error and if I only use Years instead of TimeUnits.Year, it won't let me save.
