This formula compares trandate and revrecstartdate. If they are equal, then the function returns null. If they are not equal, then the function returns trandate. You can then check the transactions where the Formula (Date) field is not null. Since the results rows are sorted by the Formula (Date) in descending order, the rows listed first will be the ones where the trandate and revrecstartdate are different. You can then check the transactions where the Formula (Date) field is not null.
