Hi @Mark, Any chance we can get a **“Not within”** filter. I’d like to show a warning text if a date is not within the first date (same day). ![Screen Shot 2020-07-11 at 9.03.19 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/4/488510b8226cd5d472d914a666eda49844b442c5.png) ---

Just thinking out loud here: The “not within” is less of a problem than the question of “within what?”. Ideally for those predicates you could specify a range, which could be - start date/time to end date/time - the minute/hour/day/week/month/year of some date/time - within some number of minutes/hours/days/weeks/months/years of some date/time - …? ---

I love the way you think. I was just hoping for the day…“within \> Today” is the whole day, so “not within \> Date” would be anything that’s not the day of the date. ---

“Not within” would also be helpful for me in an app I’m working on. I’ve been using a “refresh” button in a free app to force a sheet reload to move to “today”. I’d like to assign visibility to my refresh button that checks if a column in my sheet — that contains a " today()" formula — is not within today. If it’s not, then show the refresh button. I don’t want the refresh button visible if the app is already displaying the correct date. The other possibility would be to have visibility conditions based on the visibility of other components — so show the refresh button IF the other button is not visible (which is set to only be visible if “today” column is within today). ---

You could just set an if then column in the sheet if within today. Then set your visibility based on the if then column value. ---
