Dynamic _as_of_date

The _as_of_date functionality works great and makes relative dates so much better. However, the inability to set a dynamic _as_of_date is a challenge. For example many customers have data warehouses that load based on yesterday's data. These customers must always manually select yesterday in the _as_of_date to have accurate data. This is especially a challenge around period end for finance teams. This would save a tremendous amount of time.

It could be as simple as letting us build this date via calculation in addition to the current calendar prompt.

    I think if we don’t have the ability to set dynamic _as_of_date value then the relative dates concept in data modules using the calendar DMs will only be another half baked feature in cognos.
