Last 6 months data
Hello mb0307
here a code that creates two variables (CreateTextForQueryEnd and CreateTextForQueryStart) that you can use in your code
let Today = Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()), YearToday = Text.From(Date.Year(Today)), MonthToday = "0"&Text.From(Date.Month(Today)), DayToday = "0"&Text.From(Date.Day(Today)), CreateTextForQueryEnd = "[0DSDEL_DATE].["&YearToday&Text.End(MonthToday,2)&Text.End(DayToday,2)&"]", Minus6MonthsFirstDayOfMonth = Date.StartOfMonth(Date.AddMonths(Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()),-6)), Year6Months = Text.From(Date.Year(Minus6MonthsFirstDayOfMonth)), Month6Months = "0"&Text.From(Date.Month(Minus6MonthsFirstDayOfMonth)), Day6Months = "0"&Text.From(Date.Day(Minus6MonthsFirstDayOfMonth)), CreateTextForQueryStart = "[0DSDEL_DATE].["&Year6Months&Text.End(Month6Months,2)&Text.End(Day6Months,2)&"]" in CreateTextForQueryStartCopy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Hello mb0307
you can calculate such a text-field to use it then in the cube-function. Here a example. However, I didn't understand which time frame you want to calculate. But if you check out the approach, you should have an idea how to continue
let
FristDayOfThisMonth = Date.From(DateTime.FixedLocalNow()),
Year = Text.From(Date.Year(FristDayOfThisMonth)),
Month = "0"&Text.From(Date.Month(FristDayOfThisMonth)),
Day = "0"&Text.From(Date.Day(FristDayOfThisMonth)),
CreateTextForQuery = "[0DSDEL_DATE].["&Year&Text.End(Month,2)&Text.End(Day,2)&"]"
in
CreateTextForQuery
Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Jimmy801 Thanks for your response and apologies if my query wasn't clear. I have edited my post with an example. Your code doesn't go back 6 months and start from 1st of the oldest month.
