Date Filter to include the previous 6 Days

[ALW0120]

I am needing to filter my Date Column by a specified date plus the 6 previous days.

@ALW0120 Hi! which is the specified date? You can adapt the following code:

FilteredRows = Table.SelectRows(#"ExtractedDate", each [PlanDate] >= Date.AddDays(DateTime.FixedLocalNow(), -6)
and [PlanDate] <= DateTime.FixedLocalNow())

i've used FixedLocalNow, but you can put any date.

You can achieve this in Power Query by adding a custom column that checks if the date falls within the specified range. Here’s how:

Define your target date (e.g., #date(2025, 3, 😎 for March 8, 2025).
Create a filter condition to keep dates between the target date and 6 days before it.

TargetDate = #date(2025, 3, 8), // Change this to your desired date
StartDate = TargetDate - #duration(6,0,0,0),
[Date Column] >= StartDate and [Date Column] <= TargetDate
