ChrisMcL Error Using ActivityDate field from the SalesForce Task Table
I am doing the following to get the amount of days between these 2 dates. I get the error message below. I am using the ActivityDate field from the Task table. Also another note this field wasn't avaiable to be selected in the pull down in the formula generator, I had to go to Eclipse to get the field name. The formula is returning a number.
IF(ISNULL({!ActivityDate}), NULL, (NOW() - {!CreatedDate}) - (TODAY() - {!ActivityDate}))
Error: Unsupported type Date/Time of referenced field ActivityDate
IMPORTANT NOTE: If I inform the formula to return a date which this field happens to be and do the following I still get the same error message.
{!ActivityDate}
IMPORTANT NOTE: I do the same with my Permit Issued Date / created date on my Permit Object and it works perfectly.
IF( ISNULL({!Issued_Date__c}) , NULL, (NOW() - {!CreatedDate}) - (TODAY() - {!Issued_Date__c}))
IF(ISNULL({!ActivityDate}), NULL, (NOW() - {!CreatedDate}) - (TODAY() - {!ActivityDate}))

The issue you have is around 'Date/time' versus 'date' only alone.
You can 'fudge' this by adding an extra field.
Select a DATE type and place the 'Date/time' field in the formula.
This effectively concerts the Date/Time to a date only
But.........it does cause some display issues in tab views.
The data is valid and can be used in reports.
