Hi, I am trying to create a calculated property to identify if the Close Date on a Deal is the current year or not.

Here’s what I have so far:

=if(year([properties.close\_date\_plain])=year([properties.today\_s\_date]),true,false)

Notes:

- Each of the Date properties are “DATE” properties

- I’m only receiving “There is a problem with your formula.” as guidance

- Yes, I felt it necessary to create an alternate close date to match the date type, hence the “DATE” property type.

Can anyone lend a hand? Thanks!
