I am trying to create two different views for work anniversary and birthdays to only show if the current month is the same as hire date and birth date.

I have the following calculated column, which returns a Yes/No value: (the column is called BirthdayThisMonth)

=IF(MONTH(NOW())=MONTH([Birth Date]),"Yes","No")

It works as intended which is good, the issue is when I go to create a new list view, I set the filter to: BirthdayThisMonth is equal to Yes, and I load the view but nothing populates?

There are list items that contain Yes values but they are not showing?

I just tried the same steps as given below & it works for me:

  1. Create a calculated column with formula (with return type as Single line of text).
=IF(MONTH(NOW()) = MONTH([DateField]), "Yes", "No")

Where DateField is my date column.

  1. Edited existing view with below filters:

Original list (All items):

Output - Filter list view:

Note:

  1. Make sure there are no trailing spaces (before/after) Yes in filter condition & it is exactly matching to calculated column value.
  2. Hard refresh (Ctrl + F5) after saving list view settings OR try clearing browser cache.

  • My Calculated column is identical, and there are no trailing spaces this is copied and pasted from the condition: =IF(MONTH(NOW())=MONTH([DateField]),"Yes","No"). My filter condition is identical to yours as well with no trailing spaces. I set the view, hard refresh, and I get the following in the list view: There are no items to show in this view of the "Birthday" list.
