Credit Card Expiry Dates

brijazz

I'm trying to figure out how to enter credit card expiry dates as MM/YY (without entering a day number), and then ideally setting up notifications that alert me when we're within 30 days of that month.

Any suggestions?

By 30 days, you mean 30 days from first of that month?

Assumption: Your column name is [Exp Date]

Create a [Reminder Date] column (Date type)

=IFERROR(DATE(VALUE(RIGHT([Task Name]@row, 2)), VALUE(LEFT([Task Name]@row, 2)), 1), "missing or malformed exp date") - 30

This will return the date you are looking for and 

"missing or malformed exp date"

if the expiration date is not entered, is not MM/YY (no leading zeros expected), or if MM is not 1-12.

Build your Alert off that date.

I hope this helps.
