Date Literals
When creating a report or a list view, you sometimes need to filter based on a dynamic value. Say you want the records of last week for example. In a report, you could do that with the global filter on top of the reporting engine. But say you want Opportunities closed between the Last month and the Last week ?
Well that's when Date Literals come in.
