# Comparison

## **Current post with field value comparison**

To compare with a field value, you can use $post$.field-name, where 'field-name' should be replaced with the name of your target field. In this way, the plugin will automatically get and use a value of the field from the current page in the query.

{% hint style="success" %}
Example usage: find all posts where a 'select' field has the same option chosen, as the option chosen on the current page.
{% endhint %}

## **Date to current date and time comparison**

To compare the value in an ACF Date or an ACF Date/Time field to the current date and time by using $now$ as the value to compare by.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: $now$ will be replaced with the current date and time the page is viewed. \
You can also add or remove periods. For example, you can use '$now$ + 1 day' or '$now$ - 1 week'. The following period keys are supported: minute, hour, day, week and month.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Example usage: find all posts where 'date' field value is "Bigger than" current date and time. So as to show only upcoming events in the posts grid or list.
{% endhint %}
