Get data for the last X days including today

[sbolton1855]

I am trying to get data for the past 7 days including today I have tried in the previous 7 days and selecting 'today' (see img) but the next day it does not dynamically change.  The reason I am using >= is because if I only use = it only brings back 'today' at that date but 12am.

also if I select past 7 days it does not include today....

Today the query is 

= Table.SelectRows(Source, each Date.IsInPreviousNDays([datetime], 7) or [datetime] >= #datetime(2022, 8, 29, 0, 0, 0))

I have tried to use: 

= Table.SelectRows(Source, each Date.IsInPreviousNDays([datetime], 7) or [datetime] >= #datetime(DateTime.LocalNow()))

but that didnt work.  How can I dynammically change the date to be today and the previous 7 days.

try DateIsInPreviousDay + in previous (number of days you want to go back) days

OR

DateIsInPreviousDay + in next 24 + Hours

Unfortunately Date.IsInPreviousNDays does not include the date of today. The image on this page illustrates this: https://powerquery.how/date-isinpreviousndays/

You could use: 

Table.SelectRows(
  Source, 
  each [datetime] >= Date.AddDays( DateTime.LocalNow(), -7 ) 
    and [datetime] <= DateTime.LocalNow() 
)

Notice that even if you subtract days from a datetime value, the output is still a datetime value (https://powerquery.how/date-adddays/).

Use

Date.IsInCurrentDay(Date.From([datetime]))

Hence use this

= Table.SelectRows(Source, each Date.IsInPreviousNDays([datetime], 7) or Date.IsInCurrentDay(Date.From([datetime])))
