Jasper Ideas

Adhoc view filter to allow looking back exact prior months from current date

Currently, by using DAY or MONTH, etc it won't give you the exact day you're looking for.

Example: If you run this in Postgres to demonstrate the option you're saying by using DAY - 180


select current_date - INTERVAL '6 months'
, current_date - INTERVAL '180 days'

First column which is true 6 months ago will return 8/5/2024 from today

Second column which is 180 days from the current date (equivalate to DAY in Jasper) will return 8/9/2024


Both days are different so using DAY - 180 will not work.

It would be nice if the Filter or Input control could use the true current date - 6 months to go back to the exact 6 months. That would be applied to Quarter, Year
