SOQL WHERE Date > NOW()-x

Hi All,
 
Im hoping someone can help me with an SOQL query:
 
I'm trying to return activities within the last 3 months. I.e where Activity Date >= NOW()-3 months
The SOQL documentation suggests you have to supply a native comparison value ie not a calculation.
 
Has anyone come across this before?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Steve

Hi Steve,

You can use the phase  as below in your query 

WHERE Date = LAST_N_DAYS:90

Think this will solve your problem.
 
Thanks and Regards,

Are there other expressions that work such as Last_N_Hours?  I want to check if some objects have been modified hourly.

Hi Barton,

 

Unfortunately this LAST_N_DAYS is not there in the SOQL , but that is not at all the end.

 

You can have a formula number field say Update_Hour and formula as  (NOW() - LastModifiedDate) * 24)

 

and use the Clause like WHETE Update_Hour > 2

 

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

 

Sorry that was a Typo error , the LAST_N_DAYS is available with WHERE Clause , there are so such LAST_N_HOUR .

 

Thanks,
