Dates conditions I do not understand

[lucas3]

Hello

I have a field named "WritingDate". I have two variables named "MaxDate" and "MinDate". The user is able to select these two variables as he wants so these two variables often move. Their purpose is to filter the writings in order to only show the ones that were entered between these 2 dates.

I have two problems about this, one with an "if condition", the other with a "sum" function

1) When I print the following formula : =if(([WritingDate]>=MinDate) AND ([WritingDate]<=MaxDate),1,0)
it sometimes does not print out the expected value. I noticed it depended on the selected dates: for some it works, for others it does not

2) When I print the following formula: 
    = -sum({(< [WritingDate]={"<=$(MaxDate)"}, [WritingDate]={">=$(MinDate)"} >)}Balance)
It does not take my conditions into consideration. It prints out the expected result if there was no condition (the sum of Balances)

Any clues please ?

@lucas3 May be you can try something like below for both the conditions:

1. if([WritingDate]>='$(MinDate)' and  [WritingDate]<='$(MaxDate)' ,1,0)

2.Sum({<[WritingDate]={">=$(MinDate)<=$(MaxDate)"}>}Balance)
