Trifacta Query for Custom SQL

[GautamK]

What I’m trying to solve is to write a Custom SQL in Trifacta like:

Select * from (Dataset) where Cast(businessdate as Date) == DateAdd(day, -1, YYYY-MM-DD)

Idea is to select the rows from a dataset where businessdate is yesterday’s date. But the Custom SQL is not accepting the syntax.

Can someone please guide?

Hi, first of all please check if the data present in the field businessdate is correct as per the cast you have used. Secondly there should be a filed name or a date vale (eg: '2024/01/01') in place of "YYYY-MM-DD". One more suggestion would be don't use in-db tools for the query. Use dynamic input instead.

Thanks

@Aryasuta_Panda - this is for Trifacta/Designer Cloud - not Desktop/Designer. @GautamK - try in the Designer Cloud forum - my hunch is your underlying DB SQL function syntax is different so you'd need to adjust your functions to that. What's your underlying DB you are running against.
