I’m trying to get a formula for the number of views in the first 12 months for a set of companys with different created at dates. I’ve tried the following formula but am getting Syntax errors.

dateDiff(truncDate(‘MM’,company_created_at), truncDate(‘MM’,view_created_at),‘MM’) + 1

Hi @DataDude1,
Following up on what Vlnod said, one suggestion would be to double check that both fields are datetime stamps.
Also, if those fields are dates, confirm what the format of the dates are. You may not need truncDate if they’re already setup as months.

But, as we have not heard back, I’ll go ahead and mark this as solved to close out. However, if you have any additional questions, feel free to create a new topic in the community and link this discussion for relevant information.

Thank you!
