Month & Year functions

Nao

Porting from Slack.

Use case:

show current month on screen.
Show monthly sales
Show yearly sales

if we can have month(date) and year(date) functions, we can use it in our mathematical formulas for various purposes.

I wish features like this were higher priority. This is basic functionality and it is desperately needed. Makes using Adalo for building business apps a real chore (still worth it fwiw..) BUT, seriously - not everyone is out here building toy apps and cloning already existing or single-function apps (like uber, airBnB, schedulers, etc.) for micro-market use... Some of us are trying to build robust, multi-faceted tools to manage businesses. Still love Adalo though, don't get me wrong guys. It's just annoying to see features coming down the pipe like "filter by proximity", when You literally still can't filter by "last Month" or "current year-to-date"... And, I'm not actually a "real" developer, but man it seems like it would be WAY easier and faster to enrich Adalo with all of these random sorely missed basic functionalities than something as robust as location-based filtering and sorting. Priorities??

Tyler Tilton: I agree with everything you wrote!

Also the management of before and after times are limiting, I don't understand why it is not possible to be able to choose one's range through simple summation formulas...

Tyler Tilton

Davide Soncin: Yes, and the fact that basic functionality and performance is foregone in favor of dumb stuff like "ai database table creation" (who actually needs that??) Is why I abandoned my 2k hrs+ of work in Adalo 8 months ago to build on a more robust and sensible platform. And let me tell you what - breath of fresh air, 100% worth it, laugh at myself for throwing so much good money after bad trying to make Adalo "work" for all those many months...

Davide Soncin

Tyler Tilton: I understand very well. I also spent a lot of time on Adalo, on the one hand I really like his simplicity, on the other hand it lacks obvious things. Responsive management in my opinion is unsuccessful, uncontrollable and malfunctioning. To know, which platform are you currently focussed on?

Would be great to have in the Date/Time value 'Current Month', 'Current Year'

Building apps for business people, they tend to like to know whats happening the in the current financial period. Right now, we can only pick a how many days ago we want to show the data for, rather than from a certain date.
