    Hi Boycie92 

    Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question.

    You can use the current date as the end date .In this way you don’t have to specify the end time, because the current time is dynamic .

    For example:

    I want to sum the total sales of the last month .I create a measure like this:

    last month = CALCULATE(sum('Sales'[sales]),FILTER(' Sales ',' Sales '[Date]<=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))

    && ' Sales '[Date]>=EDATE(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())),-1)))

     

    DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())) is return the current date .

     

    Best Regards
