Filter by Current day

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I want to filter out rows and only include the current day in my direct query. i have used 

This works fine for today but when i publish the report and look at in the web viewer it stops at midnight. So the next day no matter how much i refresh it wont move to "today" and stays on yesterday. I have to re-publish the report and this fixes it.

any ideas to keep it active for the current day? I also have this issue with current hour, as soon as it moves on the refresh stops.

any help would be great.

Hi,

I'm finally back in the office to check this.

This is a Direct Query so i don't have the option for the scheduled refresh.

Any other ideas?

Look at what's actually happening in the advanced editor - I'd guess it's not actually writing the code for today, instead writing the code for 14/8/2018. Have a look and maybe replace it with DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()) if that's the case

Thanks for the help,

I changed it to 15 minutes to help fault find and here is the code below. It works when I press refresh in the desktop but when I publish it doesn;t update the rolling 15 minute window. It seems to only keep the original window until i refresh and re-publish the dataset.

any idea why this is the case or how to get around it?
