Hi all,

Date filtering is hurting my brain.

I'm trying to show only events with an event date within the last two weeks and include events happening today.

I tried this, but it's only including the events from the last 14 todays but not including today's events.

ShowColumns(Filter(Events,Event_x0020_Date>= DateAdd(Today(),-14),Event_x0020_Date<=Today()), "City", "Title")

Ideas? Thx!

Your problem is that your Date really includes a time as well. So, when you are saying Event_x0020_Date<=Today() here is how it really turns out (let's assume today's date):

5/10/2019 00:00 <= 5/10/2019 00:00

All seems like it should work...right?

Well, enter the real problem, you need to adjust for timezone. Chances are, your date for event date is really in the system as 5/10/2019 04:00 (or some other hour depending on your timezone). Well, that will never meet the criteria for <=.

So, you could try a couple of things:

1) Test this theory - change your formula to this:

ShowColumns(
 Filter(Events,
 Event_x0020_Date >= DateAdd(Today(),-14) &&
 Event_x0020_Date <= DateAdd(Today(), 1439, Minutes)
 ), 
 "City", "Title"
)

This will add 24:59 minutes to Today's date...still today, but end of day.

2) Adjust for TimeZone. Change your Formula to this:

ShowColumns(
 Filter(Events,
 DateAdd(Event_x0020_Date, -TimeZoneOffset(Event_x0020_Date), Minutes) >= DateAdd(Today(),-14) &&
 DateAdd(Event_x0020_Date, -TimeZoneOffset(Event_x0020_Date), Minutes) <=Today()
 ), 
 "City", "Title"
)

This will adjust the time zone of the dates to be correct. Then 00:00 should be 00:00

I hope this is helpful for you.
