Set analysis – select value three days before today’s date

[helge_jorg]

 Gents,

I would like to select yesterday, the day before yesterday and so on in a set analysis. When I use this expression, it gives me the sum of yesterday and the day before, insted of the value of that day. 

sum({<[COVI19World.confirmed],  Dato={">$(=Date(Today()-3))"}>}   [COVI19World.confirmed])

For one day, try this

Sum({<[COVI19World.confirmed],  Dato = {"$(=Date(Today()-3))"}>}   [COVI19World.confirmed])

or

Sum({<[COVI19World.confirmed],  Dato = {"$(=Date(Today()-2))"}>}   [COVI19World.confirmed])

Thanks for your suggestion, Sunny.

Your expression gives a value of 0, so it does not work correctly. I did try with different days (-1,-2.-3)

This is working and showing a non zero number

Sum({<[COVI19World.confirmed], Dato = {">$(=Date(Today()-3))"}>} [COVI19World.confirmed])

But this isn't?

Sum({<[COVI19World.confirmed], Dato = {"$(=Date(Today()-3))"}>} [COVI19World.confirmed])

Is Dato a date field or is it a timestamp field, which includes date and time component?

[helge_jorg]

I think it is a date-filed, at least the data only contains date, and not time. In my master calendar it might be a timestamp, but I’m not sure. 

I have attached a sample-app.

Thanks for helping me!

Date format was an issue... try this

Sum({<[COVI19World.confirmed], Dato = {"$(=Date(Today()-3, 'YYYY-MM-DD'))"}>} [COVI19World.confirmed])
