I assume that unlike "N last days", "N last quotations" will also include stocks that didn't trade on the last day, in other words it will include thinly traded stocks that often don't trade every day. I think this is how it's suppose to work, but I have never really tested this.
I haven't run a scan for some time but a few versions back I also run into an issue that setting the specific days "from-to" was the only choice because "N last days" somehow included dates beyond those specified. Just sort your Date column to see if this is still a problem.
