I want to create a button that deletes rows that are older than 40 days.  
I inserted a button and selected the action **“Delete row this item”** , but I can’t understand how to configure a filter that connects it to the rows in a table containing information older than 40 days.

Create a Query or Relation that selects the rows you want to delete. Then direct your Delete action to use that Query or Relation instead of “This Item”
