1 Mathilda 66 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi, welcome to forum! I'm afraid that using GetUTCDate() is not allowed in the formula field. You can find this information in the Fact about formula field section here You may use that syntax only in calculated field in a report datapage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 SGProject 0 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Thank you very much for your answer, Mathilda, but do you have a recommendation, how a field could be updated with such a DateDiff-value? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You may use this kind of formula only in calculated field on report datapage. So when you open a report, age will be calculated dynamically and your data will be always up-to-date. It's very important, especially when you need to calculate someone's age However if you need to store value of calculated field in the table, you may use the solution described here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 LittleMsGinger 25 Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hi @SGProject, Using GetDateUTC is not allowed in formula field. This year Caspio released new features. One of the new features is Calculated Values in the Submission form. The Calculated Value form element generates dynamic calculations that automatically update as users interact with your form. The formula you are using is valid using this. You can find more information regarding Calculated Values through this link: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/datapage-components/calculated-values/ Regards, kristina Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello Community,
I´m new to Caspio and my try, to use a calculated field in a table ends with an error (see Screenhot here: http://prntscr.com/cxgbw8) in the formula:
Invalid formular: Incorrect syntax near PERSISTED
I´ve used this formular DateDiff(year, [@field:P_DOB], GetUTCDate() as it is shown in the help section (http://howto.caspio.com/faq/reports-datapages/calculated-fields-and-datediff-function/).
Any ideas about my wrong usage?
Thanks for your comments!
