How do I get the current date from totalling

hi,

 

  I have a measure called "Current Date", which is todays date.

 

  When I put in in a table with records from another table, it give me a total line under the Current Date:

Hi @EaglesTony ,

Thank you for engaging with the Microsoft Fabric Community. The reason you're seeing a total line under the  Current Date column is because it's a measure that returns the same value ( Today() or NOW()), and Power BI automatically includes this in the total row of the visual. Since it's not an aggregated value (like SUM or AVERAGE),

 

Go to the Format pane → Totals → Disable Totals for Current Date to prevent any unwanted aggregations.

FYI:
