I have input like below.  I want to extract data based on the Current date.. 

 

If the "current date /system date" is < 7 ,  all the data to be extracted.  If the  "current date /system date" is > 7 , only current month data to be extracted..

 

Input:

Datevalue
2022-07-2110
2022-07-2220
2022-08-0140
2022-08-0950

 

 

As today's Date is 12, only this month data to be in output file.  please let me know, how can i achieve this?

 

Output:

Datevalue
2022-080140
2022-08-0950

3rd edit: Realised my first attempt should actually be fine.

Hi @arkimp - Here is a possible solution:

@arkimp - The difference between my and @DataNath solution is that my solution will process all records with one date. While the second solution will generate a date for each record and at midnight it will change.

Hi,@arkimp 

 

only filter as you need:

DAY(DateTimeToday())<7 || (DAY(DateTimeToday())>7  && MONTH([Date])=MONTH(DateTimeToday()))

Hi @arkimp 

 

I would typically do this in 2 steps with a formula and filter tool as I find it a bit easier to articulate the logic in a formula tool. 

 

One thing to note: What should happen on the 7th day of the month? I used  >= 7 for my logic
