I have created a report that pulls all the data from the previous day's production. The problem with that is our operations is two shifts and information from second shift is entered around 230 AM the next morning (ex. production was the 15th, but they didn't enter data until 16th at 230AM).
This is the formula that I used:
date({REJECTS.PROD_DATE})=dateadd('d',-1,currentdate).
I tried this formula with the same results: date({REJECTS.TIME_STAMP})=dateadd('h',-24,currentdatetime).
I have verified that REJECTS.TIME_STAMP is a datetime field.
Any help would be great,
Thanks

Add this to your report's record-selection formula:
// timestamp should be new than 24 hours before the current date/time (calculated dynamically)
{REJECTS.TIME_STAMP} >= DateAdd("h", -24, CurrentDateTime)
// include other restrictions as necessary
AND ...
My approach would be:
Create a String parameter and give default values for 24 hours... in the required format (either half hour format or Hour format).
If you require check the link for parameters.
2 use below formula in Record Select Expert
{REJECTS.TIME_STAMP}>=Cdatetime(Cdate(dateadd('d',-1,currentdate)),Ctime({?tme})) and
{REJECTS.TIME_STAMP}<Cdatetime(CDate(dateadd('d',0,currentdate)),Ctime({?time})) and
Now when you run the report you will be prompted for time.. select the time and you query will be formed as required by you.

I have a crystal report I run weekly and manually update the dates to pull the last 7 days (not including today). I've tried to use 'in last7days' and/or {date} >= minimum(lastfullweek) + 1
and {date} <= maximum(lastfullweek) + 1. I can't get this query to run - I get an error saying a string is required here. My date format is yyyy-mm-dd. I need to update this report to run automatically - I don't want to run the report by manually updating the date range every week. Thanks in advance for your help!
You are probably comparing a string to a date. Check the data types of the elements in your expression. Most likely your {date} column is a string rather than a date.
See if you can convert it to a date (e.g. the cDate() function).
Try R-Tag Community Edition. It is free and has the option to set the dates and other values outside the report so you don't have to hardcode them inside the report.
I created a report that calculated how many days it took a person to complete a task (datediff) and then calculated the avg. number of days it took a group of people to complete the same task (by summing the datediff and then inserting an "avg." function). The time frame used was set by using a "Start date" and "End date" parameter field.
Now, the end user is asking, "how does that average compare to last year?"
I gave a quick answer by creating a Cross tab where I made the "Start date" 01/01/2018 and the end date 12/09/2019 and then grouped by Year in the columns. That is not an exact year-to-year comparison since this is all of 2018 compared to YTD 2019.
I know there is a better way to do this. Any help is appreciated!
Each task has a unique ID, a start date, and an end date
Try using a subreport that shows the same summary data as the primary report, but for a modified set of Start and End Dates. Link the subreport using both Start Date and End Date, but subtract one year from each value. This will allow your primary report to show data for 1-1-2019 through 12-09-2019 and the subreport will show 1-1-2018 through 12-09-2018.
Here is the formula to subtract 1 year from a date.
DateAdd("yyyy", -1, {#StartDate})
You can use this formula in your selection criteria for the subreport or you can create a formula field in the subreport as well, then use that formula field in the selection criteria.
I'm searching for a way to have month selection and that will serve as startdate and enddate for the date filtering.
I'm building a monthly report on quicksight, I try to use the last 31 days but that give information of multiple months
I already create date picker for those parameters but didn't find any way to limit the value to be the complete month only.
Example : if select the 12 september I desire to get the September values only (from the 1er to the 31th)
Any advice is welcome
Thanks for your help
First, add a new date filter (if you want, e.g., today to be the default you'll need to add a dynamic default against a data set that returns today)
Add a new control (I found naming this to be difficult, perhaps you're better at picking names than I am)
Add a new calculated field that returns 1 if the truncDate of your date field and the truncDate of your parameter are equal, otherwise return 0
ifelse(
truncDate("MM", {date}) = truncDate("MM", ${InMonth}),
1,
0
)
Finally, add a filter that checks where your calculated field is 1 and apply it to all visuals
Im pretty new to crystal reporting ,I need a formula to to iterate through the date field.All it took is a date field as dynamic input-{?startdate}
I need the page should display 30 days/date from that dates in reports..(I got to display other data to pull in between these date fielded captions.)This is a quick requirement ,I know i should have made some investigation before posting here..Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks!
You can do two things:
Set your date parameter to allow for range values (user enters start date and end date)
Add 30 days to the day of your chosen date datefield in [{?startdate}, DateAdd('d', 30, {?startdate})]
Hope that helps,

I want to calculate the number of days passed between past date and a current date. My past date is in the format dd/mm/yyyy format. I have used below mentioned formulas but giving the proper output.
=DAYS360(A2,TODAY())
=MINUS(D2,TODAY())
In the above formula A2 = 4/12/2012 (dd/mm/yyyy) and I am not sure whether TODAY returns in dd/mm/yyyy format or not. I have tried using 123 button on the tool bar, but no luck.
The following seemed to work well for me:
=DATEDIF(B2, Today(), "D")
DAYS360 does not calculate what you want, i.e. the number of days passed between the two dates – see the end of this post for details.
MINUS() should work fine, just not how you tried but the other way round:
=MINUS(TODAY(),D2)
You may also use simple subtraction (-):
=TODAY()-D2
I made an updated copy of #DrCord’s sample spreadsheet to illustrate this.
Are you SURE you want DAYS360? That is a specialized function used in the
financial sector to simplify calculations for bonds. It assumes a 360 day
year, with 12 months of 30 days each. If you really want actual days, you'll
lose 6 days each year.

Since this is the top Google answer for this, and it was way easier than I expected, here is the simple answer. Just subtract date1 from date2.
If this is your spreadsheet dates
A B
1 10/11/2017 12/1/2017
=(B1)-(A1)
results in 51, which is the number of days between a past date and a current date in Google spreadsheet
As long as it is a date format Google Sheets recognizes, you can directly subtract them and it will be correct.
To do it for a current date, just use the =TODAY() function.
=TODAY()-A1
While today works great, you can't use a date directly in the formula, you should referencing a cell that contains a date.
=(12/1/2017)-(10/1/2017) results in 0.0009915716411, not 61.
I used your idea, and found the difference and then just divided by 365 days. Worked a treat.
=MINUS(F2,TODAY())/365
Then I shifted my cell properties to not display decimals.
If you are using the two formulas at the same time, it will not work...
Here is a simple spreadsheet with it working:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiOy0YDBXjt4dDJSQWg1Qlp6TEw5SzNqZENGOWgwbGc
If you are still getting problems I would need to know what type of erroneous result you are getting.
Today() returns a numeric integer value: Returns the current computer system date. The value is updated when your document recalculates. TODAY is a function without arguments.
The following worked for me. Kindly note that TODAY() must NOT be the first argument in the function otherwise it will not work.
=DATEDIF( W2, TODAY(), "d")
Today() does return value in DATE format.
Select your "Days left field" and paste this formula in the field
=DAYS360(today(),C2)
Go to Format > Number > More formats >Custom number format and select the number with no decimal numbers.
I tested, it works, at least in new version of Sheets, March 2015.
