Hi, Can someone point me to the right directon so i can make my date filters work for my info
this is the screenshot
Nice screen! 
Are the Reports using Custom Report Tags or SQL?
This is the action that you need:
Refresh Custom Report Widget
The Date Filter parameter supposedly allows for a range, using this type of format:
2018-02-01<>2018-03-01
However, in recent testing, it does not appear to work as advertised, that is, it has no effect on the output of the Report.
If your Reports are done using SQL, you are in luck, because you can feed dates into your SQL via the Report Parameters field.
It does work I’ll demonstrate how I got it to work when I get to a terminal.
Please do, because I went through many iterations of testing, trying different things and could not get even the default Workperiod Report to obey the Date Filter Range syntax.
