Hi @chiragpatel_1 

 

Try this formula (it means filter when 202212 = 202212 basically)

datetimeformat([kdate], "%Y%m") = DateTimeFormat(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(), -1, "months"), "%Y%m")

@chiragpatel_1 One way of doing this

[kdate] >= toDate(DateTimeTrim(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(),-1,'month'),'firstofmonth') )
AND

[kdate] <=
toDate(DateTimeTrim(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(),-1,'month'),'lastofmonth') )
