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 ...
- sirsleep29,
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.

John...lol....I had a 20 yr layoff from having to use Project so it is a learning curve for me....been back in it for about 4 months. I have done filters recently but never a date filter. Would you happen to have a good link to a place that would teach me how to create a date filter. I want to do a lookahead 6 month and 1 yr calendar. Thank You, Aaron
Hi Aaron,
I would search the internet for the subject. There are plenty of articles on the date range filters and lookahead filters on the internet such as the one below:

I hope this helps.

PS. Prompt messages in the Date Range filter are confusing.
