Smart list- need help!

deidra.norris says:
I am trying to create a smart list that "looks" at two of my other lists and compiles everything that is past due and due within the next week. I can't seem to figure out how to make this work, or if it does.

Try (list:List1 OR list:List2) AND dueBefore:"next monday"
Or maybe ..."next sunday" depending on when your week ends.

I am pleasantly surprised that "next" works, didn't know that before, thanks RTM!

Hi deidra.norris,
The following should work, and you can change the names of the lists to suit your use.

(list:Personal OR list:Work) AND (dueBefore:today OR dueWithin:"1 week of today")

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Awesome! This worked! It took me a minute to figure out that the list name has to be in quotes though. Thanks for your help!
