Use function "Year()" inside of ClearCollect and ShowColumns

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 40

I have a SharePoint list "messages" with a date column "lastlyupdatedon" (month-day-year) without time.

 

I need to get a distinct list of the years used in that SharePoint list.

 

So far i got this:

 

ClearCollect(
 colFilterYears,
 ShowColumns(
 Messages,
 "LastlyUpdatedOn"
 )
)

 

I am not able to use directly the function year() inside, am I? The result should be a collection with the values 2021, 2022, 2023 etc.

    Hi @esemuhdeoh ,

    This should do it

    ClearCollect(
     colFilterYears,
     Distinct(
     AddColumns(
     Messages,
     "YearUpdate",
     Year(LastlyUpdatedOn)
     ),
     YearUpdate
     )
    )

    There is a missing comma after "YearUpdate" but except from that it works fine.

    Thanks a lot!!!

    @esemuhdeoh ,

    Now corrected - dangers of free-typing code
