This might be a very easy question but I just wanted to make myself clear on it.

This is to be done in a validation rule formula. Say the date time field is Test__c

1) I need to compare a date time field value if it is greater than Yesterday.

2) Compare a date time field value if greater than a specific date.

3) greater than LAST_N_DAYS: 2 (What this actually mean? Day before yesterday or a day even before that?)

You can just check

Test__c = Now() - 2

OR

Test__c = Now() - 3

The number has to be subtracted from Now() function. Validation rule will fire when it will return TRUE.

you can use the DATEVALUE(datetime field) function to extract the date part from the date/time field and then compare it with values like TODAY() - 1 or any specific date value ... you can use DATE(year, month, day) function to build a static date to compare..

refer this salesforce help for sample date & datetime formulas
