Filter by Today’s date in Power Query

Hi RaphaelAlves ,
Let me know if you have any questions.
If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.
Nathaniel= Table.SelectRows(#"Name of Previous Step", each [Column1] = DateTime.LocalNow())
Technically it returns a Date/Time value, where TODAY() returns a Date value. The literal closest to TODAY() is Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) which you should use rather than DateTime.LocalNow() alone if the column you're filtering is already a plain date type rather than date/time.

Hi RaphaelAlves ,
If your data is date type not date/time one, Then we should use DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()) to work on it.
Btw, M code for your reference.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjIwtNQ3NNA3MlaK1YFxDYEIwTUwBCJUrpFSbCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [DATE = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"DATE", type date}}), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([DATE] = DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()))) in #"Filtered Rows"
Hi RaphaelAlves ,
Tell me what an ODS table is? It sounds like you are trying to filter before it gets to Power Query. Is that right? If so I cannot help you. If that is the case you would be better off to post again, and describe that.

I could configure it using DAX in power BI, but my table is too big making it slow, so my intention is to filter it before applying to power BI. Let me know if you may help me, thanks mate!- Nathaniel_C6 years agoCommunity Champion
