Hi,
Is there a way to exclude events in a search where a specific date field (not timestamp) is greater than today. Sow i only want to see events where the specified date field is today or smaller.

Try the following, which first parses the date field into a proper date/time value. Then calculates the date/time value for today and then filters events that have a date smaller or equal to today.
... your base search ...
| eval filterdate = strptime(date,"%Y-%m-%d")
| eval today = relative_time(now(),"-0d@d")
| where filterdate <= today

Hi Frank,
This is the answer I was looking for. I would rather exclude it in the base search but I guess with the readable time format that is not possible.

Can you provide some info on what field that date is in and how it is formatted?

The date field is in a human readable format as follows 2018-03-27 00:00:00.0, sow its YYYY-MM-DD.
