using date filter

HI Sme

i need to create a due date filter but it has to be dynamic. 

NameDue dateprocess
abc01/12/2021complete
xyz12/12/2021pending
bnd02/01/2021in process

 

i want to create a dynamic filter where user can insert the date manually 

 

current stage:

process = "Pending" OR "in process" AND  Due Date <2/28/2022 

 

this is a monthly report and due date changes every month so i want to create a filter that gives user to input the date and then do the filter based on the date entered by the user

 

 

thank you again

Hi @pokhan27 

 

You can do it using an app.

hi 

how do you link the due date column with the date app? 

for example: if i select the date from the app less than 08/09/2021 its still showing the value from 12/12/2021 which is false, as it should be blank

Hi @pokhan27

If it is already on the yyy-mm-dd format you can just use the ToDate() formula.

Hi @pokhan27 

 

If the date is in the format you can directly use it like below.
