Specifying a date as a comparison value
When you create a filter condition that compares the date‑and‑time values in a column to a specific date, the date value you supply must be in one of the following formats, regardless of your locale:
3/26/2008
3/26/2008 2:30:00 PM
For your convenience, BIRT Studio provides a calendar you can use to select a date.
Figure 5‑8 shows the calendar and how to access it.
Figure 5‑8 Selecting a date using the calendar
Choose the calendar icon to launch the calendar, as shown in
Figure 5‑8. The calendar appears displaying the current date, month, and year. The current date is highlighted by default.
To accept the current date, choose Today.
To choose another date, select it.
The selected value appears in Value, in Filter. Choose OK for the filter condition to take effect.
