Hello, I have a table with some date :
Table Orders
Value | Date Order |
20 | 17-07-2017 |
12 | 23-08-2020 |
I want to filter the date dynamically with another table where I have only one value :
Table StopDate
DateToStop |
01-08-2017 |
So I want to change in the query editor :
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns", each [Date Order] <= #date(2017, 1, 8))
By something like :
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns", each [Date Order] <= #date('StopDate[DateToStop]))
How is it possible ?
Thank you for your help,
Lovebo,

Hi, @Lovebo01 , the syntax is like this
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns", each [Date Order] <= StopDate[DateToStop]{0}))
or equally
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Renamed Columns", each [Date Order] <= StopDate{0}[DateToStop]))
Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |
