Hello y’all
I am currently trying to find my way around the advanced date filtering, and struggling to find a syntax that caters what I need.
So, for the look that I need to build, I need to filter the past 2 years (2021,2022) but in 2022 I would like it to stop until the latest complete week.
I tried this, but looker does not understand it.
2 years before 1 week ago
Any ideas?

Hello! After reviewing the docs, it looks like you’ll need to split that syntax into 2 filter statements. (e.g.- 2 years, before 1 week ago)
Unfortunately, to my knowledge, you can’t add 2 filters on a single field outside of a custom filter. (for an AND statement at least, you can do it for an OR statement)
One of the better alternatives for you is to use a dimension_group of your date field that at least includes the “date” and “year” timeframes. This allows you to add the 2 matches (advanced) filters that you need.
On the date timeframe, “before 1 week ago”
On the year timeframe, “2 years”
I tested this and it works great! Hope it works for you as well
