Differences between Mac and Web app
Same database, but different results between platforms.

Web app Summary view
Any ideas?

I pressed the post button too early.
As you can see it adds the Revenue field correctly but not the Expenditure field correctly ...
The correct numbers are on Mac's app screen.

I'm just guessing here, but two things I'd look into are:
1. Is the database in the Mac app properly synced? If it isn't and the 2 two versions of Ninox are looking at 2 different versions of the database, that could explain the difference.
2. Perhaps there's some sort of issue with a date range calculation in the expense formula field? If the date range is for some weird reason calculating differently between the 2 versions, the sum of the values across those date ranges would likely be different as well.
Again, just a couple of wild guesses. Please let us know what it turns out to be though.
Good luck!

Thank you Blair,
No, there is not syncing problem.
It's something with dates and I can't figure it out if it's my fault (browser date settings) or not.
I created a little test database with 5 records. Every record's date is the first date of the month.
The Ninox web app summarises the numbers 1 month back.
E.g. 1/1/2020 becomes 2019/12 and so on...
Please, anyone, take a look in the database

I've been working with dates significantly and they are buggy. In order to work around you have to explicitly ensure that the field does not contain a time component, or at least that has been my experience.
Use the update trigger to re-assign with date(year([fieldname]),month([fieldname]),day([fieldname])).
You will also find that in some cases a select statement where clause will evaluate differently than the same condition used against the array of the same select excluding the where clause when it comes to dates.... In that case once again strip the time aspect explicitly. -
@Roger
My field is Date.
Using your way to re-assign (Trigger after update) with your code: Date := date(year(Date),month(Date),day(Date)) ...
Date entered: 1/1/2020 - The result is 31/12/2019
Date entered: 28/2/2020 - The result is 27/8/2020
Date entered: 24/7/2020 - The result is 23/7/2020
Can someone Please download the example dtabase and see if he gets the correct summaries or not? See in my screenshots the results I get.
Thank you
