My tables become outdated when I change Month.

MY problem is that they lost the months of onset when they accumulate what they enter.

I would do this in Power Query, so instead of using the Advanced SQL code, leave that blank, click 'Transform Data' to open Power Query Editor in Power BI.

 

Click Home tab > Choose Columns. 

Select the same columns that are in your SQL SELECT statement.

 

Now click the filter arrow for the [time] column and set Filter to Date Filters > Custom Filter and set your filter options in Power Query. You can do a few different things, depending on your goal:

 

OPTION A: Select all dates in this current year

Click OK. 

OPTION B: Select all dates from January 1, 2021 until today:

Click OK.

Edit the Formula to replace #date(2021, 10, 2) with Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow())

 

= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [Starttime] >= #date(2021, 1, 1) and [Starttime] <= Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()))

OPTION C: Edit your SQL statement

SQL is not my strongest language, thus why I said I would do this in Power Query, but you could update your SQL statement to use DATEFROMPARTS instead of DATEADD to fix it to January. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/datefromparts-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver15

 

@StartDate = DATEFROMPARTS(2021, 01, 01)

Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.
