Formula Syntax Error Question
Hi All, Here's the formula I thought would work: todate(max(getfieldvalues(getrecords("{756.EX. '"&[Record ID#]&"'}", "abdc3n4ne"),1))) The logic is, find all records where fid 756 (related f...

Qrew LegendThere is not currently a way to process the returned records to get the max value. Maybe in the future, but Formula Queries do not support Max at this time.

Rats!
So, my next thought was to change the formula field type to text and then use another field to parse out the data I want. The formula was:
totext(getfieldvalues(getrecords("{756.EX. '"&[Record ID#]&"'}", "abdc3n4ne"),1))
But when I clicked save I got the following error:
Uh-Oh! The way this formula is built will take too long to process. Please try refining your formula.
Not sure what to do with that.

They are afraid the Formula Queries will hurt the performance of the app and the platform.
