Filter a visual on or before today's date

Good Afternoon, 

 

Is there an easy way using the filters pane to filter visuals on or before today's date? 

 

I can't seem to see this as an option which seems a bit odd unless I'm missing it! 

 

Thanks

Hi @pigsinblankets 

 

If you have a calendar table, you can create an offset column which returns -1 if it's before today's date or 0 otherwise. Then, you can use filter pane to filter by <0 values

Offset = IF('Calendar'[Dates]<=TODAY(),-1,0)

Hi,

 

You could created a field in power query that flags all dates from today and use that on in the filter pane:

 

Power query column: if [Date] >= Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) then 1 else 0 

 

If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍
