Filter Dataset Result based on Parameter Value

Question

I am working on Microsoft Dynamics Reporting service. My requirement is to show records which is dated 3 years or earlier from a given date. The parameter I have is a date selection field. What I am trying to achieve is get records based on my condition from the date I have selected on the parameter.

To filter data based on the current date, I can use:

<condition attribute="modifiedon" operator="olderthan-x-months" value="36" />

But, to get the data filtered based on the parameter value is what I can't figure out.

Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

You should use between operator, but in fetchxml you can achieve it this way.

<filter type="and">
  <condition attribute="modifiedon" operator="on-or-after" value="2016-10-04" />
  <condition attribute="modifiedon" operator="on-or-before" value="2019-10-03" />
</filter>

Also expression can help you to calculate and pass parameters.

Answer 2

We can add a dynamic date for the report. We can add another date which will have a custom code to have a date 3 years prior to the input date or current date. This date can be referenced to the FetchXML query to filter the records.
