## Patch 15: OTFA datetime selection with offsets

*4 February, 2026*

FastStats Service FastStats Designer

We've fixed an issue in FastStats affecting On-The-Fly Aggregation (OTFA) datetime selections. When you used a fixed date with an offset relative point, selections could return zero counts or incomplete results. Your selections work correctly when you combine fixed dates with offset relative points like **Now**, **Back**, **4**, **Years** or **ThisHour(end of)**, **Back**, **2**, **Months**.

To apply this fix:

1. Install the FastStats Configurator version 1.3.25199.33 or later contained within the [WebService.zip](<https://portal.apteco.com/software-downloads/576/WebService.zip>) file.

*21 January, 2026*

FastStats Service FastStats Designer

We've fixed an issue where selections on selector variables using text matching criteria could return incorrect counts.

Your selections now return accurate counts regardless of the order of codes in your list or how many entries you enter.

To apply this fix:

1. Install the FastStats Configurator version 1.3.25199.31 or later contained within the [WebService.zip](<https://portal.apteco.com/software-downloads/576/WebService.zip>) file.

*17 December, 2025*

FastStats Service FastStats Designer

We've fixed an issue where date expression selections incorrectly returned zero counts when you used mixed date types in the **From** and **To** fields. Your selections now work correctly when you combine relative dates (like **Today**) with fixed dates, or use any other combination of date types.

To apply this fix:

## Patch 12: Date expression selections with reversed dates

*17 December, 2025*

FastStats Service FastStats Designer

We've fixed an issue with date expression selections. When you entered the **From** and **To** dates in reverse order with mixed date types, selections returned zero counts.

*30 October, 2025*

We've added a Multi-threaded passes (new method) option to the Virtual Refresh Package post-load action in Designer.

## Patch 4: Issues with date and datetime expressions used in selections

*16 October, 2025*

FastStats Service FastStats Designer

We've found and fixed some issues with date and datetime expressions used in selections.

If the expression contained no variables but did contain on-the-fly aggregations, wrong results could occur. This happened if the selection used adhoc dates, date ranges, or date rules.

Sometimes the count came back as 0. In other cases, the selection included all records.

To apply this fix:

1. Install the FastStats Configurator version 1.3.25199.22 or later contained within the [WebService.zip](<https://portal.apteco.com/software-downloads/576/WebService.zip>) file.
