Reduce Data Based on Date

[#1]

I am attempting to make a 'quick view' of today's information. My issue is I have 3 separate databases I would like to bring into this one sheet. Each with their own 'time.' I have attempted to join them already and this has not worked... So instead I would just like to use a table box that displays today's information.

I would like to use a Calculation Condition within the table. I must be missing something obvious because I can easily get today date and time using just a text box as an output but when I try and put the same condition into my table box as a calculated condition it does not work. I am really only after the date, it gives me the date and time.

The field name: order_dateView is what field I would like it to reduce on.

=now(order_dateView)

Does any else have any ideas or other conditions/variations I could use?

Thanks.

Try it with the below to get all orders made today

NOW() - order_dateView < 1

Hmm that does not appear to change the data in anyway.

Any other ideas?

If you want to retrieve the date only you can use today() function ?

Then regarding the section access you should load a table with a DATETOLOAD field containing the today date as value.

Then you need to change field name for each date in your different DBs to rename to DATETOLOAD.

I hopoe this will be fine for you

Not quite what I want. I want to show data just for today. I want to do this in Table Box using a calculated condition. I have other sheets within my qvw that need the full data set. This is why I just want to limit it to an object. This would be a summary screen, users could then go to the other tables to see more details for different days.

Is this possible?

IF(fabs(intervall(DateField-Today(),'dd')) <1,1,0) * amount ... ??

A table box is likely not the object you want, try using a straight table.

Tom yes using a straight/pivot table did the trick. I then added my expression as seen above.

Thanks.
