Way to have a calculated field dynamically update in Cognos

I have a report on cash advances and I added a calculated field that calculates the days aging between the issued date and today. The issue is that I cannot use TODAY() in the expression; I have to remove the column and then re-add the calculated column to reflect the current (today's) date. Is there a way to add TODAY or something similar to the expression so it updates dynamically? I am using Query Studio in Cognos 11.

@csimon could you send me a screenshot of your expression, please? 

 

This might be something that needs to be done in Report Studio. I do know you can build an expression that is the Days between a date and the current date. So each time you run the report, it looks at today's date. I'm not sure this can be accomplished in Query Studio.


Thank you,

Hi Kevin, I was wondering if that was a report studio thing. Below is my expression. I would be nice if I could just manually update the date but I can't.
