Date Selection in BW Query

Question

Hello -
I am trying to create a query that will show me the most recent cost estimate in BW infocubes 0COPC_C08 or 0COPC_C09, without making any changes to the standard functionality or available characteristics in these cubes.  One of the cubes has available Calendar Day (0CALDAY) as a time characteristic, and the other has Fiscal Year (0FISCYEAR), Fiscal Year/Period (0FISCPER), and Posting Period (0FISCPER3). 
Any of these would be fine to use, if I could tell it to pull the most recent cost estimate for each material.  For example, material A was costed on 1/1/08, 4/1/08, and 5/1/08.  Material B was costed on 1/1/08.  If I run the query today, I want it to show me the most recent cost estimate for each material u2013 5/1/08 for material A, and 1/1/08 for material B.
Does anyone know if there is a way to limit the date selection in this manner?
Regards,
Sydnie

END date=FormatDate(ToDate(Right([DateD];Pos([DateD];";")+1);"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss A");"dd/MM/yyyy")
the above formula wont work when we enter 9/12/0214 or 9/2/2014
so use this formula
Substr([DateD];Pos([DateD];";")+1;Length([DateD]))
END date=FormatDate(ToDate(Substr([DateD];Pos([DateD];";")+1;Length([DateD]));"MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss A");"dd/MM/yyyy")
the above formula is work fine
