Error in a formula field

I have a requirement where I need to populate records where a criteria is true.
The criteria is the users must have joined in between Jul,2018 to May,2019.
I thought I can achieve this using a formula field. Below is the formula:



AND((Join_Date__c >= DATE(2018,07,01)),(Join_Date__c <= DATE(2019,04,30)))


this would return true if both the conditions satisy.
But when I see in the record, it is displayed as "#Error!" instead of true or false



I do not understand where I have done a mistake. Can anyone please help me with this.

  • Do you want to display true in the formula field if joining date falls in your criteria, and false otherwise. Is it?

Use this formula.



IF( AND( Join_Date__c >= DATE(2018,07,01), Join_Date__c <= DATE(2019,04,30) ), true, false )


The mistake in your formula is April doesnt have 31 days



DATE(2019,04,31) is not correct

  • Thanks for your concern over this issue....I tried using your formula. It also returned error as value in the field

  • Then probably you will have to check FLS for the field named Join_Date__c

  • It is set to visible for all the profiles and being a system admin, atleast, I would have access to all fields. Even in the field accessibility, it is set to editable for system admin profile

    In your formula, you are using the 31st day of April in the second condition. However April has only 30 days. That was the problem.
