How to show month or year to date

[Shezz]

I would like to show performance of the current month (or year) excluding today's date, how can this be achieved?

If we're talking about a Looker explore, the way I'd do this is by creating two filters on the date field. One to specify the month to date period ("is in the last 1 months"), and one to exclude today ("is before (relative) 0 days").

I'd probably use a similar approach on a dashboard - that is, create two filters - but I wonder if anyone has thought of a better way?
