Dynamic date range in OData query

Hey Guys,

 

I have a query for my dataset that ends in "and ChangedDate ge 2020-02-01Z" I always want it to pull the last 6 months of data from the time of load/refresh. At the minute I'm having to manually go in and change this - I wondered if there was a way I could do this dynamically where it will just always be the last 6 months? 

Need Help

    Hi FlowViz 

     

    ponnusamy 's expression has an extra ')' at the end. Remove that and you will get the correct result. There should be only a single ')' there.

     

    Date.ToText(Date.AddMonths(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-6),"yyyy-MM-dd")

    Try this 'and ChangedDate ge "Date.ToText(Date.AddMonths(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-6),"yyyy-MM-dd"))" in advance editor

    That expression from ponnusamy should work.  Does your query look like this?

     

    "... ChangedDate ge " & Date.ToText(Date.AddMonths(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()),-6),"yyyy-MM-dd")) & "Z"
