Thank you. I removed the dashes and it worked. Now to set it up for a selectable date range.

Edit: We are all blind!

Take a look at my picture again. Do you notice something? I have added your BETWEEN date filter. Does the filter work? Yes...but NO! It´s uses the filter but with the date in a in wrong format, which can lead to all kind of wrong results. [I cannot remember ever having similar problems before whenever using dates....]

Solution in my case: WHERE (Act_Assign.MODIFIED_ON BETWEEN '20230801' AND '20230802')

As alternative, something with convert(datetime,...) should also do the job.

So you don´t get access to the server, but people are completely fine with you executing direct SQL in Innovator? 😃

Technically there isn´t anything obviously wrong with the query. Maybe it´s a logical issue. E.g. wrong date for searching or wrong join.

Why do you search for a BETWEEN of the modified_on? Look at my image. Modified_on is maybe not the property of interest. As you have in your SELECT part, created_on and closed_on specify the date range of the activity.

I don't have access to our SQL server. The SQL code is in a C# method.

SSMS ist just the MS SQL Server Management Studio. I assumed you used it to build the query.

Out of interest I made a quick test of the query. I had to remove one table that I don´t have, but the rest worked (in SSMS).

Is your ORDER BY part also ignored?

Angela,

I do get results. The results indicate that the Act_Assign.modified_on BETWEEN '2023-08-01' AND '2023-08-02' is being ignored and everything is returned. If I try to put the date in a format of mm/dd/yy the system will give an error of incorrect date format. I agree that the mm/dd/yy format is stupid. The filters for the name are to limit the returns during testing. The end product will not have those filters. What is SSMS? Thanks.

Does the query deliver correct result in SSMS?

Do you get too much results, or no results at all?

If you get no results, your date format is probably not recognized by Innovator and you need to convert it:

If you get too much results, check your WHERE query. You have two filters for name. But the second maybe connects to the AND for the date, so you maybe need more brackets.
