Hello, I just want to make my filter dynamic on power query
= Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Product] = "MAC") and ([#"Year(based on client year end)"] = "2021"))
so instead of 2021,
I have created another table which holds the current year
if Date.Month(DateTime.LocalNow())< 7 then Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()) else Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow())+1
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @Kalachuchi , based on your description, I think you can merge the calculation of current year into your selection this way,
= Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Product] = "MAC") and ([#"Year(based on client year end)"] = Text.From(if Date.Month(DateTime.LocalNow())< 7 then Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()) else Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow())+1)))
or more efficiently
cy = Text.From(if Date.Month(DateTime.LocalNow())< 7 then Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow()) else Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow())+1),
#"Selected Rows" = Table.SelectRows(Source, each ([Product] = "MAC") and ([#"Year(based on client year end)"] = cy))
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
