Automatically setting todays date in query

Hi,

 

I currently have a table set up with a query where the date has to be changed manually every month i update it, What i want to do is get this to manually adjust everytime i refresh the data.

 

The query i currently have is:

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Period Table", "Custom", each "11/01/2019")

 

is there a forumla or a way to adapt this query so it just updates whenever i refresh the data in BI?

I believe what you want is:

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Period Table", "Custom", each DateTime.LocalNow() )
