How to make Dynamic Monthly filter

Learner09
8 - Asteroid

Hello All,

 

I have a Workflow that I used to run every month, before running it every first time I have to update the month filter with the current month. I know it is just a few seconds job to update the filter, but I am looking for the solution - is there any way I can automate this or add any drop-down within the filter so that I just select the month and run the data. Please assist.

Hi @Learner09 

 

You can use filter like below to check for current month where i am checking is date's month same as today's month

 

DateTimeMonth([Date])==DateTimeMonth(DateTimeToday())

 

Workflow:
