Filter Date Column

I am looking to filter my data and display data for dates that are greater than of equal to 3 months prior (starting the first day of the month) or equal today.  I'm not sure if the power query supports this filter.  Should this be done on the in advance editor?

Hi @istduncan-cohp 

 

You can click the fx beside the formula bar above the table to add a custom step, then paste the following code in the formula bar. Replace "previous step" accordingly. 

= Table.SelectRows(#"previous step", each Date.IsInPreviousNMonths([Date], 3) or (Date.IsInCurrentMonth([Date]) and [Date] <= DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow())))

Another code

= Table.SelectRows(#"previous step", each [Date] >= Date.StartOfMonth(Date.AddMonths(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()),-3)) and [Date] <= DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()))
