Load in script YearMonth YYYYMM less than today()

[#1]

Hi,

got a Date field YYYYMM in a table, formatted like this in an earlier step/app:

Date(Date#(MyField,'YYYYMM'),'YYYYMM') AS Period

Now, in a second app, I will load this table (with the Period field), and use a where clause that should only load records where Period is less than todays YYYYMM. For example, now we have March 2015 (201503) and then I will only load records less than 201503.

How can I do that? Format and use today() somehow?

I see what you mean. Try this in that case:

Where Date#(Period,'YYYYMM') < MonthStart(Today());
