Hi Colin,

 

If Field is text field you will need to convert it to a date (which is
actually a number), assuming the down under format of dd/mm/yyyy  you would
use

 

/* Stored in RVx */

convert["DDMY99/99/9999";Field ] <= today OR Field="" 

 

which will set RVx to true (NOT 0) for Field less than or equal to today's
date if Field is blank, 

it will set RVx to false (ie 0) for everything else including invalid dates
(eg 32/4/2009), which convert[] to 0

 

Its generally not a good idea to use a text field to store a date as it will
allow invalid dates to be entered

 

 

If Field is already a date field then

 

Field <= today OR Field = 0

 

Regards

Brian

Subject: [Dataperf] Report selecting two conditions in one field

 

G'day all,

I need a report which collects records based on a field (text field, ?
should be date field).  Records need to be included which;
1  Have a date equal to or before 'today's date' in the field and
2  If the same field is blank.  Thanks

Colin Lambert
