Rolling date-range in query filtering
When filtering on dates in query, the drop-down menu gives us a number of date-range options e.g. last week, this month, next quarter - what however we don’t seem able to do is add a ‘rolling’ date-range into a dynamic query e.g. in the last 3 months (90 days), in the 12 months (365 days)?
There are quite a few situations where this type of rolling date parameter is needed, rather than a fixed period. It would be really helpful for Oxford's work if this could be made available via the SDK.

Allow the ability to use rolling dates in the Query Criteria
Merged When creating queries there are a lot of instances where you need to use rolling date functions instead of the options available which then allows a lot of flexibility getting results.1 Reviewed: Voting Open

Please make the Rolling Date available in OLTP as well.
Merged Not everyone has access to Data warehouse tables. This is very useful in OLTP database2 Reviewed: Voting Open

Rolling Dates - Please Add the Ability to Query for a Date Criteria 'One Year Ago Today' to the standard query tool
Merged In a query, when applying criteria to a date field, the dropdown allows you to specify This week, This month, this Quarter, This Calendar Year,etc.. However, it would be extremely helpful if you could query by one year ago today. (Or X years ago f...1 Reviewed: Voting Open

Until this is provided as part of core product, feel free to use our Relative Dates Query Node, as per https://community.blackbaud.com/forums/viewtopic/540/61542
We couldn't live without it.
We agree. Setting this back to Voting Open.
Wow, I can't believe this has been sitting here this long! And I can't believe it's marked as "Shipped" when it's not part of standard Blackbaud CRM. Maybe it's in the Data Warehouse, but we don't use that. This would be incredibly useful to us in our Production database!
The availability of rolling dates in queries would be extraordinarily helpful in the standard query tool - there are over 160 votes for this idea, but it is essentially inactive, because it is listed as shipped - however, it is NOT available unless you are using the Blackbaud Data Warehouse. I would urge you to re-open this request, but for the query tool so that everyone would have access to it.
Hi all.
David Bourne at the Winderness Society in Tasmania has shared a rolling date query view directly off a Constituent Record.
Please contact him at david.bourne@wilderness.org.au
Please make the rolling dates available in the standard query tool for OLTP tables similar to for BBDW.
Please make rolling dates available in the standard query tool. It's essential to many of our reporting needs and I don't think we should have to buy Data Warehouse for such a fundamentally useful feature.
Hi Trit,
Thanks for that clarification. The answer before implied that it was generally available. We don't have the data warehouse so this is not useful to us. It's such a fundamentally useful feature that I'm really hoping BB will add it to normal query soon. See https://bbcrm.ideas.aha.io/ideas/CRM-I-2215.
Regards,
David.
Hi David,
The rolling dates feature is only available for queries built off of the Blackbaud Data Warehouse. If you have the data warehouse deployed, within query, look for Constituent (from the Blackbaud Data Warehouse) and Revenue (from the Blackbaud Data Warehouse) query views.
Thanks,
Trit
Hi Blackbaud, when you say that this is Shipped in 4.0, is that for the normal query engine (where we certainly can't find it) or the SDK (which we don't have). Regards, David.
