Spreadsheet Sync - Filters - Date Selection

Hi,

We use spreadsheet sync to pull in our P&L each month by class (along with comparative periods). Each month we have to go to each class and update the date manually through the date picker. However, there is a formula option that allows you to select a cell or input a formula which I assume would allow us to have a dynamic date.

I have tried every combination of date or value format within the cell or within the formula. In no case will the Spreadsheet Sync except the date for the filter. The date picker shows a format that is yyyy-mm, but that doesn't work either. Has anyone gotten a dynamic formula for the date to work in the filters of spreadsheet sync?

Spreadsheet Sync - Filters - Date Selection

I'm not trying to post data, but rather download. I'm trying to download and create a dynamic download template. The current reporting options for multiple classes and multiple periods to excel are not sufficient, so we use the spreadsheet sync to bring data into a model.

 

What is the right format for the date if connecting to a cell or formula? There is no documentation, and the other question someone asked on this is unanswered.
