Question

I’m trying to use rowfilter in C# but i keep getting an error when trying to filter by month.

The format of the source file is 12/1/2012 16:30 and so on, but i would just like to capture all the entries that fall into a specific month.

How would i do this?

my code is:

dvjan.RowFilter = "[Status]='Closed' and [Req Start Date]='January'";

Error is:

Cannot perform ‘=’ operation on System.DateTime and System.String.

Answer 1

You’re comparing the value of a date field with literal text [Req Start Date]='January'" and you need to compare to one or more date values instead, like [Req Start Date] >= '1/1/2012' and [Req Start Date] < '2/1/2012'
