Reporting - more than vs less than xxx days

Philippa Grover

Hello everyone,

I need to write a series of reports for a client and I am struggling with the filters. They have a field on a Target called "Contract End Date", and they want a list of Targets with a date that is between 365 and 548 days away.

 

Support have confirmed there is no "greater than"/"less than" option in the report filter perimeters.

 

I was wondering if I could do something clever with a workflow, but don't know where to begin!

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? This is a real show-stopper for my client, so any assistance or suggestions would be gratefully received.

 

Best wishes,

Pippa

    If you are on Sugar Enterprise or higher you have the ability to create reports based on a SQL query.

    You could use the MySQL date functions in your where clause (I assume you are on MySQL) to add the necessary logic to your query.

    where DATE_ADD(UTC_DATE(),INTERVAL 365 DAY) < contract_end_date < DATE_ADD(UTC_DATE(),INTERVAL 548 DAY)

    If you are on Professional I'm afraid you are stuck with creating a custom scheduler which in turn runs a MySQL query to get the data you need and formats it to be returned to the user/s via email using MailerFactory.... not terribly complicated but requires programming.

    Hope this helps,
