Is it possible to create a query with comparison between fields?

Hi,
I need to create a query that compare two different fields on the same work-item. For example: a query that find all the work items with closure date after the due date.

Is it possible?

Thanks,
Michele

I don't think it's possible with RTC queries. You have to create custom reports or add third attribute and use script to store difference between dates like here:

Another way is to export pre-filtered work items to csv and compare dates in spreadsheet application.

Ok, I have clear how to do it with a third attribute. With custom reports, you are saying to create a new report with BIRT, I suppose. Is it correct? Are there other ways to do it?

BIRT is a quick way, no need to install something on server side.

But there is Cognos (RRDI\Insight) option also.
