Hi arijit

Try this System.DateTime.Now.add(-28).ToString(“MM/dd/yyyy”) Store this expression in date time variable and then use filter table and put that variable in that .

Hope this will help u

Thanks

have a look here:

the value of datacolumn is a DataType of string, but the compare should be done on dateTime base
surprisingly the statement dt1.Rows(0)(0).ToString < FilterDate works in the watch box but not in FilterTable
however it would do it on string base (Lexically order)

With a shift to the Select method the compare on dateTime base can easy be expressed
dt1.Select(“[post_date] < #”+FilterDate+“#”)
take notice of the surrounding #

hi @ppr
thanks for your reply.


i write the final result in an excel but i observed that result came by removing last 28 days dates. but my requirement is to get last 28 days dates.
Thank u.

@arijit1213
as I was quick working on your case your filter expression from above was used:

so give a try on
dt1.Select("[post_date] >= … it should let pass the filter for all dates newer the now-28 days, Also dates
newer then today.

Otherwise reformulate your filter requirements more clear if the filter result is not matching your expectations
