I have a query that returns certain time series information. But since I am doing analysis for each completed month, I would like to ignore the last month information so it does not contaminate the data. So the actual data would look similar to this:
x
T.Date T.Profit
1/1/2016 15
1/15/2016 25
1/29/2016 5
2/03/2016 10
So, I was thinking in doing something like:
where T.Date <= Datefromparts(Year(max(T.Date)),Month(Max(T.Date)),1)
And I would receive something like:
T.Date T.Profit
1/1/2016 15
1/15/2016 25
1/29/2016 5
But seems like this is not the way.

I see nothing wrong with your approach:
select t.*
from (select t.*, max(date) over () as max_date
from t
) t
where t.date < datefromparts(year(max_date), month(max_date), 1);
Perhaps more colloquially, this could be written as:
select t.*
from t
where t.date < (select dateadd(day, 1 - day(max(date)), max(date))
from t
);
