Hi, In a referenced table in PowerQuery I need to work only with latest data from the original table based on column YearMonth (format 202011, 202010, etc). So far we were manually copying newest...

Hi Anonymous ,
Try this:
Method1:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwMtA3NNQ3VNJRMlSK1UGIGAFFjJBEDMBqjFFEQGpMECKWYCWmyAIgFWZKsbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Value = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Date.IsInCurrentMonth([Date])), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each ([Custom] = true)), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Custom"}) in #"Removed Columns"Method2:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwMtA3NNQ3VNJRMlSK1UGIGAFFjJBEDMBqjFFEQGpMECKWYCWmyAIgFWZQAUOgvBFYiblSbCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Value = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each (Date.Year(DateTime.LocalNow())-Date.Year([Date]))*12 + Date.Month(DateTime.LocalNow()) - Date.Month([Date])), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each [Custom] < Recent_N_Month), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Custom"}) in #"Removed Columns"BTW, .pbix file attached.

In Power Query, Filter the Year Month Column by any value, for example, 202011. Replace this value with the following code. It will always filter to current year and month
Date.Year(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()) * 100 + Date.Month(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())))
