To get the date of today: Simply create a new column or measure like this:
today = today().
To make sure that your report only shows the relevant dates from today onwards. Drag your Expected Delivery Date to the filters on this page or Filters on all pages box. Set the filter type to relative date and select a period.Hi NickMol - thanks for looking
your solution doesnot solve for point 3 in my above request. Also want the flexibility for users to change dates.
amitchandak - see that you have answered similar questions, please can you take a look. THe challenge here is the multiple criteria in addition to being fitlered for today.
can someone point me on how to approach this?
