Find last nightshift

Hi,

I have timestamp transactions which is flagged With which shift who was working. I now have to find the latest Night shift.

I need some Expression that will pick out all "Green" rows. The problem occured when nightshift change workschedule and start to work before midnight.

My previous Expression was sum({<shift={'Night'} ,Date={"$(=today(1))"}>}value) The latest Night transactions was always on todays date.

Now I need something else to fetch rows that starts before midnight

The night schedule is 23:00-06.10

The function DayStart() would be of help in this situation as it takes an offset as a parameter:

=Only( {<shift={Night},time={"=Date(Floor(DayStart(time,0,-1/24)+1))=Today(1)"}>} time )

The second parameter of DayStart says that the field time also contains time in addition to date when it is set to 0.

-1/24 is minus 1 hour obviously.
