hi Sridhar,
As anil said create an rkf and hide it. This is mainly for getting the input date from the user.
If you proceed as you do data will be restricted as a whole.
steps:
1. Create Restricted key figure , with any keyfigure restricted by <b>0calday variable</b> say "v1".  where v1 is user entry processing type.
2. Hide this Rkf in query designer.
3. Create formula variable "fv1"  with repacement path and dimension "date" and replace with attribute "expirydate".
4. Create formula variable "fv2" with customer exit ,dimension "date"with following code:
Data: l_t_range like line of i_t_var_range.
     et_range like line of e_t_range.
Date: zday(8) type n.
Case I-VNAM.
when  'fv2'.
   If I_STEP = 2.
Loop at i_t_var_range into l_t_range where vnam = v1.
  zday = l_t_range-low.
et_range-low = zday.
et_range-option = 'EQ'.
et_range-sign = 'I'.
Append et_range to e_t_range.
endloop.
endif.
5. Create a CKF where iit is equal to fv1-fv2.
Hope this helps.
