Supplement Current Date

In the process of dynamic date filtering, it would be nice to be able to supplement the "Current Date" with a user prompt date.


This would also go along with the request: https://community.yellowfinbi.com/topic/allow-dynamic-date-filters-to-be-user-prompt

Hi Zack,


Thank you for submitting this idea. Can I please clarify that you are looking for a feature that would allow a user to select a manual date and compare it to the Current Date? For example:


From: 01/01/2020

To: Current Date


If you can provide the specific use case you are looking for I can make sure that this idea, if it is to be included in a future version, that it does actually meet your requirements.


Cheers,

Neal

I am looking to change the date at which the dynamic date is filtering. For instance, if I want to look at the last six months based on a date that is not the current date, I am not able to do so. Ideally, one situation would be to let the user decide the "End Date" and display the dynamic date range. Secondly, it would be helpful in determining a truly dynamic range per use case (i.e. Prior Periods, based on start of month or end of month...etc., use in Parameters, Filters, Sub Query Filters...).
