I want to turn this ...

Power Query:
= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [LastCompletedDate] < DateTime.LocalNow() or [LastCompletedDate] = null)

... to select rows < TODAY LAST YEAR or = null ...

(ie DateTime.LocalLastYear()!!!)

I've found a few ideas in this forum (and others) but can't seem to get any of them to work!

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks ...

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
I've worked it out!!!

= Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows", each [LastCompletedDate] < Date.AddDays(DateTime.LocalNow(),-365) or [LastCompletedDate] = null)

... unless I've missed something?

For Leap Years you have Problems Use this.
Power Query:
= Table.SelectRows(#"Filtered Rows", each [LastCompletedDate] < Date.AddMonths(DateTime.LocalNow(),-12) or [LastCompletedDate] = null)

Hopefully no-one will object to me asking a very closely linked follow up question here?

It now appears that the REAL requirement (!) is a fixed date cut off, not a fixed period! - if I wanted to amend ...

VBA Code:
[LastCompletedDate] < Date.AddMonths(DateTime.LocalNow(),-12)

... to ...

VBA Code:
[LastCompletedDate] < {[I]a fixed date that has been entered into a named cell in the Workbook[/I]}

... how would I code that?

I know what the syntax looks like if I use a Power Query date filter ie (for 1/4/2020) ...

VBA Code:
[LastCompletedDate] < #datetime(2020, 4, 1, 0, 0, 0)

... but how would I turn eg 1/4/2020 entered into the named cell in the Workbook into the correct syntax ie (2020, 4, 1, 0, 0, 0)?

Thanks ...
