Getting the Last 6 Days

Guys,

 

I'd like to ask for your help in getting the last 6 days. I have attached the data file for your reference. In my example, I should be getting June 18 to June 26.

 

Looking forward for your response. Thanks.

Convert date to standard format, then filter.  I've taken previous 6 days from today, which is 21-26 June, but you can adjust the formula if that isn't what you need.

Filter: [DateTime_Out]>=DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(),-6,"day")

@KamenRider if you want the last 6 days' records, you can use the formula provided by @Christina_H  or if you want the last 6 dates, then you can use the attached workflow

Hi @Christina_H 

 

The dates resulted to missing dates. I should be seeing 6 days. Below shows only 4 dates. Please advise.

Hi @KamenRider 

 

You may need to clarify if you want 6 days from today's date, or from the last date within the data?

 

Assuming you want the last 6 days from the data you could do the below which converts the Date field into the standard format, then grouping by the dates adds in a RecordID which is then joined back onto the main data stream. Finally filter out where RecordID is less than or equal to 6, sort and tidy up.

This will return the last 6 days worth of data based on the dataset. If you had data for the 26/6 then it would start at the 18/6
