Filter and return dates with datetime

Question

I'm on django 1.8 and i have a problem in filtering and return months from an object with date-time field and

here is my code :

Expense.objects.filter(is_done=True).dates('created_date','month',order='DESC')

The error is so confusing

'created_date' is a DateTimeField, not a DateField.

Answer 1

created_date is a DateTimeField , not a DateField . You have to use datetimes() instead of dates() .

New code:

Expense.objects.filter(is_done=True).datetimes('created_date','month',order='DESC')
