Hello,

I created a query for Excel in Power Pivot using the visual designer. I currently have to change the dates every month.

I need to modify it so it automatically returns the data for January from the current year until the current month.

[Time].[By Month].[Date].&[2020-01-01T00:00:00] : [Time].[By Month].[Date].&[2020-08-01T00:00:00]

Thanks in advance

    StrToMember("[Time].[By Month].[Date].&[" & Format(Now(),"yyyy") & "-01-01T00:00:00]") : StrToMember("[Time].[By Month].[Date].&[" & Format(Now(),"yyyy-mm") &"-01T00:00:00]")

    You could also try YTD function as :

    YTD(StrToMember("[Time].[By Month].[Date].&[" & Format(Now(),"yyyy-mm") &"-01T00:00:00]"))
