capture last month and back from a date column

Hi all,

 

I have a column with dates in the following format:

dd/mm/yyyy (sample data below)

 

How can I create a calculated column that only captures any date in last moth and backwards. All dates in current month or in future to be ignored. 

 

Thank you in advance.

The EOMONTH function is nice here.

CalculatedColumn = 
VAR _LastMonthEnd = EOMONTH ( TODAY(), -1 )
RETURN
    IF ( [Date column] <= _LastMonthEnd, [Date column] )

Hi,

You can obtain this

serpiva64_0-1647539692891.png

with this calculated column

Column =
var currentdate = 'Table'[Date column]
var prevmonth = date(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,DAY('Table'[Date column]))
var result =if (currentdate> prevmonth,"",FORMAT('Table'[Date column],"DD/MM/YYYY"))
return
result

Create a new Custom Column.  Something like this should work.

IsBeforeCurrentMonth = IF( YEAR([Date column]) <= YEAR(TODAY() ) &&
                            MONTH([Date column] ) < MONTH( TODAY() ),
                            TRUE,
                            FALSE )

Add this Column to your Filter Panel and select True.

Hope this works for you.
