I can't seem to figure this one out... where do I put the DATE() function?

I tried several columns as a parameter in de COUNT() function and tried a few different formats of the status... Could anyone please help me further here on how I have to tell the database I want the count of the orders that are shipped today?

You forgot to provide a link to the course page, but just from memory I seem to recall that one of the fields was something like "ordered_on", which you would compare with today's date in the WHERE clause. And you would also need to check that the "status" was "shipped".

Thank you for your respond. It work this way... I thought it was looking for the status dat it was shipped today, so not ordered_on today... anyways, thnx! :)

That was my first thought too, but the it wasn't part of the data. The instructions could possibly be re-worded to be a bit more clear.
