How to dynamically change the datasource based on the date condition

Hi, 

 

I Have a requirement, to point to Source 1 for Jan and Feb of every year, rest of the year to source 2, I have tried to use the date.is in month function but we can only pass one at a time, we can't make dynamic

 

Thanks

Kumar

    Hi, Santosh19 


    In Power Query:

     

    Source = if Date.Month(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())<3 then Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content]
    else Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content]

     

    ----------------

     

    Where  Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content] would be your Source1 and Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content] would be your Source2. The condition Date.Month(DateTime.FixedLocalNow())<3 evaluates the number of month.

  • Not an answer to your exact question but an alternative approach.

     

    • Load both sources.
    • Filter Source 1 for Jan/Feb
    • Filter Source 2 for not Jan/Feb
    • Append the sources to have one combined source
