    Hi Nathaniel,

     

    yes, it will be for current month.  So like 10/31 would be Y

    Thank you

    Hi gco 

    Doing this in Power Query is more efficient. Matches your post.

    = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "CurrentDate", each if Date.Month([#"Dates                 IsCurrentorPastMonth?.1"]) <= Date.Month(DateTime.LocalNow()) then "Y" else "N")

      Just tried it with 10/31 and it works.  Good point.
