Dynamic Target Based on Current Date

Hello all,

I am currently utilizing a gauge card with a target metric. What I would like to do is have the target be dynamic based on a date. For example, we have a different target for each quarter in our fiscal calendar. Depending on which quarter we are currently in, I would like the target to reflect the correct data.

I tried a beastmode for my target that went something like

(CASE

when CURDATE(between 01-01-2022 and 03-01-2022) then 98

when CURDATE(between 03-02-2022 and 05-30-2022) then 98.5

end)

but I'm getting a syntax error. Any help would be appreciated!

    Your beast mode syntax should look something like this:

    (CASE WHEN CURRENT_DATE() >= '1/1/2022' AND CURRENT_DATE() <= '3/1/2022' THEN 98
 WHEN CURRENT_DATE() >= '3/2/2022' AND CURRENT_DATE() <= '5/30/2022' THEN 98.5
 END
)

    You might also consider adding an ELSE clause to handle when the current date doesn't match any of the WHEN clauses.
