so you want to do data selection on it rather than return a text?
datediff('d',PURCHORDER.PO_DATE,currentdate)>6
or
datediff('d',PURCHORDER.PO_DATE,currentdate)
will show you then # value of the days

I just learned that this is not a indexed as a date/time field, but as a text field. If there anything else I can do.
Thanks

This formula should work:
datediff('d',{PURCHORDER.PO_DATE},datadate)>7
It shows a false because it is taking the last PO Date. For example I have a PO from 8/17 and one from 8/29 I want this to say true that there is a PO that has been out longer than one week so I want it to look at the PO with the 8/17 date and saying True for PO's. I hope this makes sense.
Thanks

Not making sense.
Do you mean you have multiple recorsd fpr the same PO# and you need to find it where the first date for the all the rows for that PO is >7 ?

I have multiple PO's from multiple dates so I have dates of 8/23, 8/17, 8/20, 8/27 and I want on the report to show if there are any PO's that have been open for more than seven days from the day the report is run. But with the current:
datediff('d',{PURCHORDER.PO_DATE},datadate)>7
it is showing a False because it has not been 7 days from the 8/27 PO, I need it to show a True because the 8/17 PO has been open for more than seven days.

the formula of
datediff('d',{PURCHORDER.PO_DATE},datadate)>7
is supposed to be used in the select expert. It evalautes each row to see if it meets the condition (TRUE) or not (FALSE)
if it is TRUE it includes it in the report. If it is Flase it excludes it.
What are you doing with it now?
