Hi @Anjankumar2021 

 

Input was:

Output as expected:

ShankerV_1-1670830324170.png

 

Designed the formula in such a way it will work dynamically for all the days you run in future,

IF Contains([_CurrentField_], datetimeformat(DateTimeToday(),"%d/%m/%Y")) THEN
"Today Sales"
ELSE [_CurrentField_]
ENDIF

 

If this helps, please like this post and mark it as a solution. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

 

Many thanks
