    You cannot delete data but you can use a column to filter your data. You can add a custom column to compare dates :

    Date.FromText([Delivery to]) < Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow())

     Name it as IsExpired to use it as a flag, the result will be true or false.

    Then in your table filter out expired rows by unchecking true.

    Each time your dataset is refreshed you will not see these rows.

    Hi LFM 

     

    Power Query method:

    Firstly filter by [Delivery to] column based on a specific date, then modify the formula like below in formula bar. Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) represents today's date. 

    = Table.SelectRows(#"Previous step", each [Delivery to] >= Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()))

    If you want it to be updated every day, you need to refresh the report daily or set a schedule refresh to do that in Power BI Service.

     

     DAX method:

    Create a measure like below and use it as a filter on the visuals where Delivery to is included. When you open the report, it will be updated. 

    Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Delivery to])<TODAY(),0,1)
