Report Builder Data Set Query Designer Date Filter Expression

Hi,   In the report builder I am using the Query Designer to build tables. But I can't figure out the "filter expression" to show anything created after 5/1/2020. I've tried normal DAX expressions ...

    Contains is not correct. It will be looking for the literal text "<5/1/2020" in your date column.

     

    If you use the "Range (Exclusive)" operator and then just pick a start date it will produce a query that returns everything after the specified date.

     

     

     

    Side question. Is there a DAX expression tool maker?

    Not really, the query builder is the closest tool that does this.
