Filtering Dates help in Power Query please!

Hi there,

 

I would like to set a filter on a date field in Power Query. The filter I would like to set is following:

Include all dates on or before 30 days from now.

For example if the date today is 02/10/2024. I would like to include all data with dates on or before 01/11/2024.

Thanks!

Hello @threw001 , 

 

Use the following M code to create the column for filtering, This code calculates the date 30 days before today

 

DateTime.LocalNow() - #duration(30, 0, 0, 0)

 

After creating this custom column, filter the date field by choosing dates that are less than or equal to the result of the formula

 

Table.SelectRows(#"Previous Step", each [Date] <= Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow() - #duration(30, 0, 0, 0)))

 

by this your data will dynamically filter to include all records with a date on or before 30 days from the current date, regardless of when the report is run

Hello @threw001 , 

 

You can create the filter slicer using dates and set Relative Date style in the slicer settings, this should resolve your issue.
