     Posted: 04 Jul 2012 at 12:25am

Hello, I have a question about date ranges.

 

If i use

ADDEDDATE in today to today-6

or ADDEDDATE in today to DATEADD("d",-6,today)

 

vs

 

ADDEDDATE in  today-6 to today

or ADDEDDATE in  DATEADD("d",-6,today) to today

 

I get very different numbers / records.

 

Why does it matter if the earlier date comes first or second?

 

I assume ADDEDDATE in today to DATEADD("d",-6,today) would be the correct option?

(today-6) to today
Is the correct syntax.

Are you able to explain why the other way doesn't work though?
 today to today-6? still returns records, just not all of them.
Dont understand why it would matter which way the range was, the dates are still the same. Is this a crystal thing? or SQL? that causes this to happen?

I have not tested it but my guess is that when you inverted it it only counted records for today.
I think it wants to 'count up'.
If you use a datediff() function and invert the dates you will get a negative value so I would guess it is a similar sort of thing.
