Today's date in Power BI report.

Question

How do you insert today's date in a power bi report?

Answer 1

Hello Michael Denis MIFSUD,

Thank you for your question.

According to Microsoft’s official documentation, you can use the DAX function TODAY() to return the current date in a Power BI report. You can create a measure such as:

Today's Date = TODAY()

After creating the measure, add a Card visual to the report and place the measure in the card to display today’s date.

Please note that if the date does not update as expected, the report or semantic model refresh settings may need to be reviewed.

For more information, please refer to Microsoft’s official documentation: TODAY function (DAX) | Microsoft Learn

If the goal is to filter report data relative to today rather than simply display the date, Microsoft also provides guidance on using a relative date slicer: Create a Relative Date Slicer or Filter in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

I hope this information helps point you in the right direction.

Kind regards,
