• not between - Minimum and Maximum parameters
• equal to - Value parameter
• not equal to -Value parameter
• greater than - Value parameter
• greater than or equal to - Value parameter
• less than - Value parameter
• less than or equal to - Value parameter

To enter dates manually into an INPUTBOX:

1. set Input Type: DateTime
2. for the child DATA VALIDATION set,
   • Allow: Date
   • Date Input Type: Manual
