Filter by Today’s date in Power Query

I need to filter by today date. There is a colunm with some dates where I’d like to filter only the today’s date. How to do it? Thanks!

    = 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"
