=beginning_of_day(date("2024-01-31"))
Create a data filter that return all deals created between January 1 and 31. Combine this function with end_of_day().

Update the previous data filter with dynamic statement period dates instead of hard-coded text values.
CreatedAt >= beginning_of_day(date(statement_period.start_date)) AND CreatedAt <= end_of_day(date(statement_period.end_date))
