Previous date data

Hi i am looking to get the data for the 2 days privious data.
i.e when i run the report now (01-Nov-2010) i should see the data which is of date (29-oct-2010).

My thinking was create a universe level filter kind of trunc(sysdate - 2) is this correct?

I tried it and gets no data.

You’re on the right track. If you look at the stickies and do some searches, you’ll find hundreds of posts on this topic.
