Dax function for current date

Hi everyone,

 

My dashboard is using this dax function to pull a dataset from another aplication.

currently I have to input the current date manually, is there any way to replace the date "(2023, 8, 8)" with a funtion that would automatically put todays date?

Thanks!

Are you sure that is dax and not PowerQuery?

 

If you need today's date using Power Query, use this.  Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) 

 

If this post was helpful, please kudos or accept the answer as a solution.
