Hi @HULK , you need the formula:

datetimeformat(datetimetrim(datetimetoday(),'month'),'%Y%m%d')

Hey @HULK, there's a function that will pull the first day of the current month. Just need to wrap that in DateTimeFormat() to get the desired format i.e. without the hyphens:

 

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeFirstOfMonth(),'%Y%d%m')
