Hi @Primus, you could use DATE = SYSDATE-1 to get yesterday's date. Let us know if this isn't what you were looking for.

It brought back 0 entries   I used

PROCESS_DATE = SysDate - 1

 when I used >={ts '2020-05-01 00:00:00.000'} it works

I'm trying to do it in SQL editor i

The date in your query indicates you are looking to get data from May 1 and no necessarily today - 1. Maybe try >= SYSDATE - 1 and see if that works? Sysdate is basically an oracle function that gives you today's date, and Sysdate - 1 should give you yesterday's date.
