Re: Our database has a 1 day delay, we need the report to show data from the previous day

Hi Dawood,

What's the backend database?

If it's Oracle, create this Previous Day filter in the universe using the below formula in Where Clause:

TableName.DateColumn = trunc(Sysdate -2)

Note: Replace the TableName.DateColumn with Date Dimension Name.Date Column Name or @Select(FolderName\DateObjectName)

Sysdate is a function that gives the current or system date and -2 will go back 2 days, as you've one day delay.

Also, if the BO version matches per this blog, you can use this new feature:
