2022/01/24 • 3 min. to read
For
date filters, parameters can be specified in square brackets
[ ], which will be converted or calculated when the evaluation is executed.
Basically, the parameters are date formulas. However, the English parameters are always used, e.g.: D (Day).
The advantage over date formulas is that several date values (e.g. a date interval) can be specified combined in one filter.
The parameters are calculated based on the
Work Date.
In evaluations, the calculation can additionally be controlled via the
Date Filter Calc. Formula field.
Date filter parameters can be used, for example, to set up evaluations where the date filter is automatically set to the current month when the evaluation is executed.
The following parameters are available:
- D Day
- WD Weekday
- W Week
- M Month
- Q Quarter
- Y Year
- C meaning 'current' and can be specified as a prefix of a parameter
A list of date filter parameter examples can be opened via the lookup of the date filter field.
