Hi, i'm trying to import data from a MongoDB via ODBC Driver with this SQL Query:
SELECT column, NOW() FROM table WHERE orderDate >= DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 5 DAY)
but the 'NOW()' function returns null. Apparently sql functions doesn't work in Power BI SQL queries. Is there any solution or other way to deal with that ? The query needs to happen at the same time as the import to limit the data.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Yaotel ,
Does a datetime field exist in your database? if so, try filtering using a field that actually exists in the database table.

It really makes sense, I will try it. Thank you!
Hi,
you could try something like this:
declare @now datetime
declare @lastweek datetime
set @now = CAST(getdate() as date)
set @lastweek = CAST(DATEADD(day, -5, @now) as date)
SELECT [column] FROM [table]
where [date] > @lastweek

Thank you, but doesn't work
Try using 'GETDATE()' in place of NOW() and see if that helps
Thank you, but it doesn't work 😕
