    Use of cdSpecialDateRange function?

    Thanks for the reply, this is how I got it to work: {DISBURSEMENTS.ACTUAL_DISB_DATE} in cdSpecialDateRange (currentdate - {?days-off}, "LastFullMonth"). I had to use the currentdate function and adjust it by "days-off" to get to the date I wanted since I can't use the date that is in the...

    Using a formula (date) to select rows

    When I use the CR9 Function "in lastfullmonth" to select my rows of data, I get a 13 page report in about 2 minutes (6+ million row search), when I change the Function to a Furmula which also points to last-month (I have verified this), the search turns into a table scan that runs for hours. I...
