creating smart list: over due within 7 days of today

pskarbon says:
Trying to create smart list that shows over due items within one week of current day. This will allow flexibility/grace period of one week to keep overdue tasks in view. So if today is the 9th day of the month, I would see tasks which were past due up to the 2nd of the month, but I wouldn't see anything from the 1st or earlier...(fyi the completed version of this smart list will include the above plus 7 days into future, to give a constant 2 week view of events over due and due) Thanks for any help

From what I can tell I don't think everything you are looking for is possible with how the due date searches work. The closest I could get was:

NOT dueAfter:"1 week" AND NOT due:never

Unfortunately this will show all overdue tasks, not just within one week.

That being said you could always "hard code" your search and update it every week. So if today is the 9th as you say above you could do:

NOT dueAfter:"1 week from today" AND NOT due:never AND NOT dueBefore: MM/2/YY

Only problem with that is you'd have to update every day or at least every few days.

Try
dueWithin:"7 day of Yesterday" AND status:incomplete

I just use

dueBefore:today AND status:incomplete
