Date Range Tool Help

Is there a tool that allows me to pull data from the previous week? For example if i run my flow on Monday 9/26 is there a tool that will allow me to see only the data from 9/19 -9/23 but allow me to run it weekly without having to manually update the data range?  I am running an automated report but need to see the previous weeks data on a set schedule when i run the flow every week. I am currently using the filter tool but it only allows me to pull data from the current day back a week. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is what I am using.

Hi @czjames87 

 

Please take a look at the attached workflow. You can use the DateTimeFormat function to get the current week, and subtract 1 to get the last week.

After that, use the same function to get the weeks of your dataset, and make the weeks of your data set equal last week.
