DAX Formula

CurrentMonthAverageYield =
VAR CurrentDate = MAX('calender yield'[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
    AVERAGE('Production orders'[Qty in kg]),
    FILTER(
        'calender yield',
        'calender yield'[Date] >= STARTOFMONTH(TODAY()) &&
        'calender yield'[Date] <= ENDOFMONTH(TODAY())
    )
)
When I try to create this formula to show the current month average yield I get red lines under "TODAY" and an error message: "Parameter is not the correct type".

Hi, @Anonymous 

You can't Pass scalar value to STARTOFMONTH function you need to provide column name
Try below measure

CurrentMonthAverageYield =
VAR CurrentDate = MAX('calender yield'[Date])
var Monthstart = eomonth(today(),-1)+1
var MonthEnd = eomonth(today(),0)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
    AVERAGE('Production orders'[Qty in kg]),
    FILTER(
        'calender yield',
        'calender yield'[Date] >= Monthstart  &&
        'calender yield'[Date] <= MonthEnd 
    )
)
