Set analysis - field > a date format

Hi All,

I am having an issue with the following expression hopefully someone can help shed a little light on it.

=count({1<[CALL URGENCY]={'Critical'}, [CALL STATE]={'Open'}, [ACTUAL_LOG_DATE]={"<$(vCriticalTime)"}>} [CALL_NUMBER])

The problem is with:  [ACTUAL_LOG_DATE]={"<$(vCriticalTime"}

To explain what's going on a little better:

vCriticalTime = Timestamp(now()-0.1667, 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss')

ie vCriticalTime = '2014-07-23 10:46:37 '

The count always comes out as 0 which is wrong.

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong when trying to determine if my vCriticalTime is less than the [ACTUAL_LOG_DATE]?

Thanks for your help

Update fixed the missing ) , still having same issue

Hi William,

Try quotes for the variables once.. '$(vCriticalTime)'

=count({1<[CALL URGENCY]={'Critical'}, [CALL STATE]={'Open'}, [ACTUAL_LOG_DATE]={"<$(='$(vCriticalTime)')"}>} [CALL_NUMBER])

Thanks for everyone's time on this question. I've decided to go a different way and add flags to the tables before creating the QVD's which I think may be a better solution in the long term.
