I have built a report in Rational Insight and will set the Cognos Scheduler to run every day at 5:00 PM PST. What I need is the report to only show data from 5:00 PM PST the night before to the time I run the report at 5:00 PM PST the next day. In other words, i want to use last modified date in the request section but I am not sure how to set the filter. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Brandi -
We do something similar where we want to show only workitems in the report that have been updated in the last week. We have this filter in the report to get only workitems that have been resolved in the previous 7 days:   _days_between(current_date, [Resolved Date]) <= 7

You could do something similar with your report using the built-in functions like  'current_date',  'current_timestamp' or 'current_time' to get to the date/timestamp you're looking to use in your filter.
