Current date - Extract (Day From Current_date) + 1

[VeronikaStolfa]

Hello all,

could you please help me with the issue below? 

I need to add column:

where is actual date - give me date in current month but with first day of month.

For example today is 2022-07-28 and I need to get 2022-07-01. I need to set it up as dynamic report. It means when somebody downloand report on 2022-09-15, I will need to get 2022-09-01. 

We could use this condition in SQL language: 

date_of_day IN (Current_Date - Extract (DAY From Current_Date) + 1)

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

This might do it

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}}),
#"Calculated Start of Month" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Date", Date.StartOfMonth, type date}})
in
#"Calculated Start of Month"

Thanks,

PS just realised you said add a column so just duplicate your current date column first 🙂

Hi @VeronikaStolfa ,

Please open a blank query and paste the code.

let
    Source = Date.StartOfMonth( DateTime.LocalNow() )
in
    Source

And you can also create a measure to get date.

Measure = EOMONTH( TODAY(), -1) + 1

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
