Keyword | interval1

Purpose

There are two ways to specify a date interval. The start and end date must lie within the specified project period.

The first is the most obvious. A date interval consists of a start and end DATE. Watch out for end dates without a time specification! Date specifications are 0 extended. An end date without a time is expanded to midnight that day. So the day of the end date is not included in the interval! The start and end dates must be separated by a hyphen character.

The second form specifies the start date and an interval duration. The duration must be prefixed by a plus character.

Syntax | `<date> (- <date> | + <duration> (min | h | d | w | m | y))`
Arguments | date | See date for details.
duration | The duration of the interval. May not be 0 and must be a multiple of timingresolution.
min | minutes
h | hours
d | days
w | weeks
m | months
y | years
Context | Global scope
