Need a help with Completed Last Month List

mickallen says:
Just started using RTM and I am trying to create a smart list for tasks completed last month, I have entered the search completedWithin:"2 months of 1st" NOT dueWithin:"1 month of 1st" not sure if that's right, I can't test it as I don't have any tasks for last month.

To view all tasks that were completed in the previous month, you can use a search similar to the first part of your example:

completedWithin:"1 month of 1st"

"1st" in this case refers to the 1st of the current month. During the month of June, for example, a Smart List with this criteria will display tasks completed in May. In May, the list will display tasks completed in April. And so on.

Hope that helps!

Having just moved into August the completedWithin:"1 month of 1st" has not worked correctly It is including tasks that I completed today (1st August)

mickallen,
Sorry for the confusion. The completedWithin: operator will include the 1st in the search results. You can exclude these items by using a slightly more complex search:

completedWithin:"1 month of 1st" AND NOT completed:"1st"

Hope that helps!
