Exclude last 4 days of month filter

Hello,

 

I am filtering current month in a set of data which spans a half of a year.  But I also want to exclude the last 4 days of current month.  What would the formula be? I realize that my filter is not very sophisticated, and I should use a formula that finds the current month instead of hard coding the current month every month. Please help.

Maybe it is a bit lengthy 😁
the left anchor is the result of filtering, and the J anchor is the dates that should be filtered out.

Hi @markalves ,

 

if I got you right, this may solve your problem:

DateTimeFirstOfMonth() returns the first date of the current month

DateTimeLastOfMonth() is the last date of the current month, using DateTimeAdd you can "adjust" the date to exclude the last 4 days.

 

Let me know if it works for you.

 

Best,

 

Roland
