Question

I am using the following query to get the results which i demonstrated

SELECT 
b.sales_title,c.cat_name,COUNT(b.sales_id) as cnt,COUNT(DISTINCT e.comment_id) as coun
FROM tb_sale_report a 
INNER JOIN tbl_sales b on a.sales_id=b.sales_id 
INNER JOIN tb_category c on c.cat_id=b.category_id 
LEFT JOIN tb_comment e on b.sales_id=e.sales_id 
GROUP BY b.sales_title

 +------------+---------+--------+------+
| sales_title | cat_name| cnt    | coun |
+-------------+---------+--------+------+
| My Sales    |Toys     |20      |5     |
| First Sale  |Dress    |28      |1     |
|Premium      |Computer |7       |16    |
+-------------+--------+---------+------+

Now in the table tb_sale_report i am also having another field named view_date which will store the date in which the record id added. Now i am planning to add a filtering option to the table tb_search_report in which the user can search the records added in between particular dates such as a start date and an end date. How can i write the where condition to filter the results as per the dates specified.
Need help.Thanks in advance.

Try below :

SELECT 
b.sales_title,c.cat_name,COUNT(b.sales_id) as cnt,COUNT(DISTINCT e.comment_id) as coun
FROM tb_sale_report a 
INNER JOIN tbl_sales b on a.sales_id=b.sales_id 
INNER JOIN tb_category c on c.cat_id=b.category_id 
LEFT JOIN tb_comment e on b.sales_id=e.sales_id 
where left(a.view_date,10) between 'start_date' and 'end_date';
GROUP BY b.sales_title

Pleae replace start_date and end_date with values
