Hi,

Expression seems OK.

make sure you have proper date format.

Data(today()-1) will return you your system format date which is set in your script background.

  [d Gregorian Full Date] is also set as date format in sql. i don't know what the problem is with my conditional part of the code.

Your Code is fine

Make sure you drop date list box to front end.

and in new text box write =date(today()).

Check what are the date format are they similar.

If possible post a sample data.

as you see there is no problem with the format because they can be added to each other. there should be some problem with the syntax of condition: [d Gregorian Full Date]={"$(=Date(today()-1))"}

Your script code is correct,may be both date field means your system date field format for today is different from the

[d Gregorian Full Date] date field format. Try to change the date format which is different.

for eg: lets suppose date format of [d Gregorian Full Date] is DD-MM-YYYY and date format of Today() is DD/MM/YYYY

then you should use following code

Sum ({ < [d Gregorian Full Date]={"$(=Date(today()-1,'DD-MM-YYYY'))"}>} [F Sr Sales Quantity])

hope this will help you.

if you still have any issue then post your sample app.

As I say there is format issue.

Try below

=Sum ({ < [d Gregorian Full Date]={"$(=Date(today()-1,'YYYY-MM-DD'))"}>} [F Sr Sales Quantity])
