Showing tasks due next week and beyond

[dcoales]

I wanted to show all tasks coming up in the next 7 days and in a separate block all tasks thereafter.

I created the first block with the query "due before next week" which gave me all the tasks in the next 7 days and the second with the query "due after next week". Of course neither block shows any tasks due exactly on next week.

Is there any to get a single block that shows all tasks due in 7 days time and thereafter or will I have to create two blocks for that.

Did you try something like due before in 7 days and due after in 6 days?

@schemar: Won't combining those two filters within a single query exclude all tasks with due dates?

Right. It would still be two separate queries. But it should cover all days.

I've found that using weeks terms in Tasks query filters sometimes produces different results than I'd expected -- so I use days instead when filtering items by the week.

If you want all tasks due in 7 days or thereafter, then use

```tasks
not done
due after in 6 days
```

But if what you meant was all tasks due 7-13 days from today (the week after the week that starts today), then use

```tasks
not done
due after in 6 days
due before in 15 days
```

Thank you very much. I hadn't realised you could combine the 'after' keyword with the 'in' keyword like that. It now works perfectly.

Thanks again.
