Current Date

[Reinaldo_Junior]

Hi!

I want to know how can I create a filter that shows just the tests
that were made today (current date). Is it possible?

hola !

CONTROLS => Function Library => Date and Time => Current Date
(TODAY)
$$TODAY^%bi.S()

Arquitect documentation ("Defining a Dimension Based on a Date")
explains in detail how to deal with Date/Time fields. It does affect
if you define it as Date or Values.
Analyzer documentation ("Appendix A") ellaborates on Expressions &
Scripts.

There are two elements you need to know:

First, you use the base date dimension (e.g., Birth Date rather than
Birth Date Year or any other variation).
Second, in the filter expression, you compare to a date in the format
DD/MM/YYYY or DD/MM/YY

Rather than $$TODAY^%bi.S(), I would use the $HOROLOG variable
(=today) with the $ZDATE function, which you can use to get the date
into the format needed:

[Test Date = $ZDATE($HOROLOG,4)]

I'm still having problems with that.

I want to create a column that shows how many new patients we have
today. I went to the Metrics and created a new metric, then I typed
"[Date OS = $ZDATE($HOROLOG,4)]" in the Filter. However, it didn't
return any results when I used this metric, and I'm sure we have new
patients today.

What went wrong?

$ZDATEH($HOROLOG,4) is a Cache ObjectScript expression, so to use it
within a filter, you have to wrap it in curly braces.

[Date OS = {$ZDATE($HOROLOG,4)}]
