Dynamic Date range in field type DateTime

Posted on by RP at CML 5

Hi all,

I am wondering if you could advise on the below query?

 

How do we set a filter in a 'DateTime' type field to only include today, and the previous 6 days (most recent week’s-worth of data)?

In a ‘Date’ type field I would normally use the formula “T-7D..T” to get the required results, but this of course does not work in a 'DateTime' type field.

The exact scenario is setting Change Log Entries as a Job Queue Entry to run weekly, with a week's worth of data being reported. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

    You can use the createdatetime function to generate the datetime for 6 days prior to today.

    learn.microsoft.com/.../createdatetime-function--datetime-

    First find the date today-6d and then use that date in the createdatetime function.

    Hi Inge,

    Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to achieve the results I need purely in the front-end?

    You mean in the standard job queue setup page?

    Or what page and field do you want to use?

    Yes, in a standard job queue I want to run a report on Change Log Entries that only shows the last 7 days of changes. Change Log only has DateTime fields, no Date fields, so I am unable to use the standard filter I would use in a Date field (T-7D..T). I need to know the syntax for making an equivalent of this formula work in a DateTime field.

    Just read your post and I use something similar, (dayrange(-7,0)) with the "Matches" setting. It works for both date and date/time so far for me.

    In my case I use 30 days back and 3 days forward:
