Label/Expression Mix Max Date

[#1]

Hi! I'd like to show in a label the minim and the maxumum of my date fields. The format field is YYYY/MM.

I'm trying to use these functions: MinString and Max String.

But if my range field is from 2010/1 to 2013/11, these functions show me this result from 2010/1 to 2013/9.

There is another function to calculate the correct result from 2010/1 to 2013/11?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Your dates should be dual values, having a number representation:

Then you can use numeric functions like min() and max(), to create your label and format as needed, something like

=Date(min(DateField),'YYYY-MM') & ' to ' & Date(max(DateField),'YYYY-MM')

Thank you so much for your help!

Could you maybe help me with an example pls?

I'm trying to use this expression with the example attached.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I think your problem is still that your dates are not correctly parsed in. Have you read Henric's blog post and the pdf linked in his post?

If you parse the dates correctly e.g. using the date#() function, your expression just starts to work. Check attached.
