POWER Query SQL Statement Dynamic Filtering

[smpa01]

Hi,

I am building a query by connecting to a SQL Server Table. To avoid having all the rows I have done a custom SQL Statement to filter while connceting to SQL server as following.

select [$Table].[CreatedDate] as [CreatedDate],
       [$Table].[Site ID] as [Site ID]       
   from [dbo].[vw_xxxxxxx] as [$Table]
   WHERE ([CreatedDate] >= N'2016-08-20 00:00:00') 

Now whenever I run this query I need to see all the rows WHERE ([CreatedDate] >=(Today) - (2 years).

So if I run it today (08/20/2018), I need to see the rows with Created Date values from 08/20/2016. If I run it tomorrow (08/21/2018), I need to see the rows with Created Date values from 08/21/2016. 

Is there any way to dynamically pass on this criteria to SQL statement.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hi @smpa01,

Since this is a direct SQL Statement, you should be able to directly use GETDATE() function as in case of SQL Server.

Did you try something like this

select [$Table].[CreatedDate] as [CreatedDate],
       [$Table].[Site ID] as [Site ID]       
   from [dbo].[vw_xxxxxxx] as [$Table]
   WHERE ([CreatedDate] between getdate() and CAST((CAST(YEAR(getdate())-2 as VARCHAR(4))+'-'+CAST(MONTH(getdate()) as VARCHAR(2))+'-'+CAST(DAY(getdate()) as VARCHAR(2))) as DateTime)

Thanks @Thejeswar it worked. You saved me. Thanks mate.

This is what I have used and it did the trick

select [$Table].[CreatedDate] as [CreatedDate]
     from [dbo].[vw_xxxx] as [$Table]
   WHERE [CreatedDate] >= CAST((CAST(YEAR(getdate())-2 as VARCHAR(4))+'-'+CAST(MONTH(getdate()) as VARCHAR(2))+'-'+CAST(DAY(getdate()) as VARCHAR(2))) as DateTime)
