Hello Community,   Is it possible to use the last refresh date as the start point and use today's date as the end date?   Thanks   Rob

Where you want to use.

Like

Measure =

var _max =maxx(Sales,sales[Date])

Var _tod = Today()

return

calculate([Sales],filter('Date',Date[Date]>=_max  && Date[Date]<=_today))

    Thanks amitchandak for your reply.

     

    Really useful and one that I will keep for later use.

     

    However, I think I need to expand on my original question.

     

    To save on the time it takes to refresh a set CSV files which are updated daily, I am trying to solve the problem of only refresh the data from the last date the data was refreshed. Does that make sense?

    Example

    Last refresh date - 27/3/2020

    Refresh today - 31/3/2020

    New CSV files to update - 28/03/2020, 29/03/2020, 30/03/2020 and 31/3/2020

     

    THE REFRESH SHOULD ONLY BRING IN THE DATA FROM THESE 4 CSV FILES.

     

    I need to change the parameters to allow incremental refresh which is something else I need to understand more about but I am reading up on this but any hints would be appreciated.

     

    I hope this makes sense and I am not even sure it will be possible but it would be awesome if there was a solution.

     

    Thank you.
