 Use this formula to create a new string field - DateTimeFormat(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeParse([Date], "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S"), -1, 'days'), "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S")

I think this will work and you can call your fields whatever you want or you can override the incoming date field. I wanted to show you the progression.

First you will need to convert you date/time field into the ISO date format. You can either use the DateTime tool or a formula. Then in your filter the formula to find yesterday dynamically would be: DateTimeAdd(DateTimeNow(),-1,'days')

Hi, @shahnawaz_khan 

 

Custom filter :

 

 

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([Datetime],'%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S'),'%Y-%m-%d') = DateTimeFormat(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(), -1,'day'),'%Y-%m-%d')
