FAQ: For reporting purposes, I want to calculate statistics based on the current period to date and display that next to the periods immediately preceding it. This is easy to do using the custom date range tool in Organizer Topic (Creating a Periodic Condition and the grabbing the capsule closest to or offset by 1 from the end). Is there a way to create these same date ranges relevant to the current time in Seeq Workbench? Solution: We can create identical conditions in Seeq Workbench by following the methods below. The first method defines how to create conditions for current and previous conditions for years, days, weeks, shifts. The second method includes an extra step that is necessary for current and previous months and quarters since the exact duration of these periods can vary based on the number of days each month. Method 1 - when the length of time in each period is definitive (e.g. year, week, day, shift). This example shows how to create conditions for "Current Week" and "Previous Week" 1. Create a Periodic Condition for "Weekly" using the Periodic Condition tool. 2. Create a Condition around the current time ("Now") using Formula --> condition(1min, capsule(now() - 1min, now())) 3. Use the Composite Condition tool to create a condition for "Current Week" when the Periodic Condition "Weekly" touches the tiny capsule at "Now". 4. Use Formula to create a condition for the "Previous Week" --> $currentWeek.beforeStart(7d) Method 2 - when the length of time in each period is variable (e.g. month, quarter). This example creates a condition for "Current Month" and "Previous Month" 1. Create a Periodic Condition for "Monthly" using the Periodic Condition tool. 2. Create a Condition around the current time ("Now") using Formula --> condition(1min, capsule(now() - 1min, now())) 3. Use the Composite Condition tool to create a condition for "Current Month" when the Periodic Condition "Monthly" touches the tiny capsule at "Now". 4. Use Formula to create a Condition for the last day of the last period (in this case "Last Day of the Last Month") $currentMonth.beforeStart(1d) 5. Use the Composite Condition tool to create a condition for the "Previous Month" when the Periodic Condition "Monthly" touches the "Last Day of Last Month".
