Duplicating a Table based on an Activities Moving Date.

Hello-

 I need to make a duplicate of the table below based on the Activity ID and Forecast Finish.  ACT-Con-016 is the end of 60% Design.  The issue is the Forecast dates can change with weekly data upates.  Is there a way to duplicate the table below based on the Forecast Field where Activity ID is ACT-Con-016 and before what ever it has in its Forecast Finish>?

 

If not possible is there a way I can duplicate table and keep any Activity where Forecast Finish is before 11/1/2024?

Hi @PeteyG 

 

You can first duplicate the query, 

vjingzhanmsft_0-1720056867092.png

In the new query, filter rows by [Activity ID] column and select Equals... and set it to equal to ACT-Con-016. This will give you the formula like below in the formula bar and remain only one row in the outcome. 

= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [Activity ID] = "ACT-Con-016")

vjingzhanmsft_3-1720057340383.png

Don't worry, you just need to change the equal sign "=" into "<=", then you will have the expected outcome like below.
