Hi
 
I have what is a probably a simple answer, but I cannot seem to find the solution.
 
I have 4 dates:
 
01/01/2011
01/01/2012
01/01/2013
01/01/2014
 
All I want to do is return the first record after currentdate.
 
So as today is the 27/01/2012, all I want displayed is 01/01/2013.
 
I have only got this far by adding a function:
 
01/01/2011   FALSE
01/01/2012   FALSE
01/01/2013   TRUE
01/01/2014   TRUE
 
Thank you for your assistance.

you could try
putting something like
table.date > currentdate
 into your select expert
then create a formula like
minimum(table.date)

The following formula will return the 1st of Jan in the year after the current year. If it's always the 1st of Jan you want to return you could use this to compare your dates too.
 
date(year(currentdate)+1,1,1)

1. Remove all records before current date using a simple record selection formula: {Your_Date} > CurrentDate

2. Return the minimum date for the remaining records
