Managing date-driven data doesn't have to be a manual process. This walkthrough shows you how to use Lucid formulas to filter dates from a linked Google Sheet and calculate totals for any specific range you define. For full formula information, please view this documentation.
What you’ll learn:
- How to split text inputs into an array to prepare your data for date calculations.
- How to use the
dateformula to convert spreadsheet strings into recognizable date formats. - How to apply
lookup,filter, andcountfunctions to identify data points within a specific window. - How to dynamically display the number of entries—such as job applicants—that fall within your chosen dates directly on the canvas.
⚙️ A note on the UI
This video was produced around 2024. While the Lucid interface has been refreshed since then, the logic for date parsing and the formula syntax for filtering arrays remain the standard for building data-intelligent documents.
