This is odd. I have a series of Actions in which an image is generated, the current date is written to a ‘date’ column, and the count increments by 1. The intention is to count how many times within each day a user performs a task.
What’s odd is that yesterday (Dec 11), I generated 5 images. Those were logged with yesterday’s date in the data editor.
Today, Dec 12, I look at the data editor and it claims I generated 5 images today.
I haven’t generated any images today.
It appears that the ‘date’ column is showing today’s date and not the date on which I performed the action.
Does anyone see how to resolve this so that the data maintains the date on which an action was performed?
Right now, I only care about how many uses per day. It can reset each evening as far as I am concerned. The important bit is to have the count (increment) return to zero each day.
Given that it’s a non-computed column, the only way that can happen is with an action. Maintaining counters in this way is always problematic and subject to all sorts of things going wrong.
I did offer you an alternative solution to this problem a day or two ago - no interest in that?
Thank you for offering the other option. I tried it but got stuck in the same problem in that the date changed to match current date but retained the previous count. I will continue to work through your previous suggestion to see if I can find my error.
Thank you
