Data 360: Specifying NUMBER(08) or NUMBER(09) in a formula field in Data 360 results in "Invalid Formula"

Beskrivelse

Specifying NUMBER(08) or NUMBER(09) in a formula field in Data 360 results in "Invalid Formula". This is because when a number starting with zero is specified in the NUMBER function, it is recognized as an octal number.

Løsning

By removing the leading zero from the number specified in the NUMBER function, the specified number will be treated as a decimal number.

If it is absolutely necessary to add a leading zero to the number specified in the NUMBER function and you need to represent a number greater than or equal to 8, you can avoid the "Invalid Formula" error by adding numbers up to 7, as shown below. The following formula returns "2008-01-01".

e.g.
DATE((2000 + NUMBER(07 + 01)), 01, 01)

 

Additionally, you can specify it as an octal number as shown below. The following formula also returns "2008-01-01".

e.g.
DATE((2000 + NUMBER(010)), 01, 01)
