Question about date in set analyst with variable

Hi All,

I have data :

Date Set Analyst.JPG

And I have a variable = today()

I just want to calculate that count(id) before the variable(today).

I want to make it using set analyst not if else.

So I try to use =Count({<DATE={"<=Variable1"}>}ID), but it shows 0.

I think it's a easy request, but i don't know why, maybe it's because of type.

Could you please help?

Thanks.

Either change the variable like

Variable1    

=Date(today()-5,'YYYY-MM-DD')


Or Change expression like

=Count({<delivery_date={"<$(=Date($(Variable1),'YYYY-MM-DD'))"}>}id)

Hi Sunny,

Thanks for reply, it works now.

I also think that is because of the date type, so I tried <=date($(variable)), but it's wrong.

Anyway, thanks for your help. It bothered me because I think it's a some issue and strange.
