Filter for current month automatically

Hi,

 

I am trying to filter data from an excel file for a certain month. I currently filter for the string data in a column with YYYYMM format manually using the filter tool. 

 

Is there a way for when I run the workflow to automatically pick up say the current month's data? E.g If I ran this in March 2021, I would only see data for 202103?

 

YearMonthDate
2021011/29/2021
2021011/29/2021
2021022/26/2021

use this formula in your filter, assuming yearmonth is a string

 

yearmonth=datetimeformat(datetimenow(),'%Y%m')

 

if it's not a string, you can use tostring or tonumber functions
