Query Data for a Specific Date

[VivekKakkoth]

Hi ,

I am new to Power Bi and I am trying some reporting stuffs with Power BI.

I am trying to query some data from a DB2 database which I have connected via the ODBC connections. My requirement here is to fetch data for the current date.

Take a look at a simple SQL query : 

select * from tablename where date = dt.

here date is the variable from my table and dt should be the current date that I want.

Any guidance.

Hi @VivekKakkoth ,

In Power Query M, you would bring in all the data, then filter as follows:

Table.SelectRows(
    previousStepName,
    each [date] = #date(2022, 05, 01)
    // OR: each [date] = variableName to use a defined variable
    // OR: each [date] = Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) to use today's/current date
)

try this

SELECT * FROM table where DATE(date)=CURDATE()

[VivekKakkoth]

DATE(date)=CURDATE()

These formats are not working.. I had tried this option before I posted this requirement. It is throwing an SQL error as : 

Query1

ODBC: ERROR [42884] [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2] SQL0440N No authorized routine named "CURDATE" of type "" having compatible arguments was found. SQLSTATE=42884

Hi @VivekKakkoth 

Try using CURRENT DATE instead. Specifying CURRENT_DATE is equivalent to specifying CURRENT DATE.

SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE date = CURRENT DATE

Reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32478642/how-to-select-data-from-db2-for-current-date 

In addition, Current date is in yyyy-mm-dd format. If your date column is in other format, you may need to convert its format. Please refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10320918/db2-date-format
