Date Range

[Anonymous]

Hi all, 

My client has requested me to have a specific date range within a chart. 

Can anyone show me how to create a date range as follows: 

Min Date: Current Month - 2

Max Date Current Month +6

This should cover 9 months of data. 

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous 

You shoud be able to use Relative date filtering.

Hi @Mariusz 

I do know how relative date filtering works, but I have not been able to set it for the specified range: 

Min Date: Current Month - 2

Max Date Current Month +6

This should cover 9 months of data. 

Do you know how to do it ?

Thanks!

I am almost there, 

Date.Year([Date]) - nowYear is the custom column sYear

However how do I get the variable nowYear? 

Thanks 

[Mariusz]

Hi @Anonymous 

This will be 
nowYear = Date.Year(nowDate)
nowDate = Date.From(nowDateTime)
nowDateTime = DateTime.LocalNow()

Hope this helps.

@Mariusz 

There is one issue, I do not have the advanced filter options as you do.

I do not have "Less than or equal to" for example.

Hi @Anonymous 

Make sure you chage the data type in query editor to Whole Number.
