Query to find all records that have a date field in the same month

Can anyone help me figure out how to query to find all the records that have a certain date field that's in the same month (and year)? This is what we have, and it's correct for April, but then it's doing a backwards running total, so March is including April and March. Feb is including Feb, March and April. Thank you!


var text query ="{48.OAF.'"&FirstDayOfMonth( [date field] )&"'} OR {48.OAB.'"&LastDayOfMonth (   [date field]   )&"'} ";

Size(GetRecords($query))

BTW - I tried using "AND" instead of "OR," but that returned a number of 1 or 0 usually, when it should be more like 10-30.
Thanks again!

    Hi Amber, 

    I would suggest removing the extra space before and after the "OR" to see if that fixes the issue. Also, it does seem like you should be using "AND".

      Hi Amber,
      Like Sharon, the only problem that I see with your formula is the OR instead of the AND.

      According to this, https://help.quickbase.com/user-assistance/formula_queries.html, you can create a Formula Field for the first day of the month or the month name, and then use Size([Formula Field])

      If you just need this information to be summarized, then I'd recommend a Summary report, then you can use Month as the Combine by inside of the Grouping of the date field.

      Good Luck!

      John
