Date Range Filter
I am trying to use the date range filter in ms project and I put in my dates for let's say a 1 month timeframe but some of the tasks that come back when I run the filter are showing to be outside of ...

The task in your screen shot has a finish date that is "greater than or equal to" today's date. And it's start date is "less than or equal to" 8/11/23. So yup, it's in the date range.
I have always felt the structure of the Date Range filter is confusing, but, it does do what it says.

Hi John, I set the date range for one month from today until 8/11 and this is one task that comes up. Hopefully you can see the attachment.

As I said, confusing. But hopefully I answered your question.
