I'm a new convert from Access and very green on EG. I'm trying a simple query formula where I need records from the past 60 days. The criteria in Access was simply Date()-60. What does the filter look like in a SAS EG query?
Almost identical:
Using the dataset SASHELP.STOCKS as an example:
1. Create a new query, select the variables you want.
2. On the filter tab, create a new filter, and select an advanced filter.
3. Your filter text should be something like
t1.Date >= (today() - 4501)
(this will select all the records with date later than Jan 1, 2005).
4. Next, then Finish
5. Run your query.
Make sure the integer you use gets you exactly the dates you want...testing is important!

Depends upon whether you are using the GUI. A youtube video shows various ways to select using the GUI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNseN9tGfwM
Otherwise, you may only need something like between today() and today()-60
