Make data blank after specific date (preferable after "today")

Hi all,

 

This is my first post, so if you have any general remarks on the way I ask for help, please let me know. 

 

on topic:

 

I am using the LINESTX function to predict values based on historucal data. In this case I want to predict the number of sales. In the picture below you can see that the data line (dark blue) is running after today and I think this will influence my results. So my question is how can I remove these values (0) into blanks?

 

The measure I created up to now is:

 
Sumparts =
VAR SUMPARTS1 =
    sum(Sales_per_Customer_per_Date[Invoiced_Quantity])
    return
    if(isblank(SUMPARTS1),0,SUMPARTS1)
   

So I think I have to add something to this measure. This measure I use finally in the linestx:

 

Simple linear regression =
VAR Known =
    FILTER (
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
            ALLSELECTED ( CaseCreatedDate[Date] ),
            "Known[X]", CaseCreatedDate[Date],
            "Known[Y]", [Sumparts]
        ),
        AND (
            NOT ( ISBLANK ( Known[X] ) ),
            NOT ( ISBLANK ( Known[Y] ) )
        )
    )
VAR SlopeIntercept =
    LINESTX(Known, Known[Y], Known[X])
VAR Slope =
    SELECTCOLUMNS(SlopeIntercept, [Slope1])
VAR Intercept =
    SELECTCOLUMNS(SlopeIntercept, [Intercept])
RETURN
    SUMX (
        DISTINCT ( CaseCreatedDate[Date] ),
        Intercept + Slope * CaseCreatedDate[Date])

Many thanks in advance!

Try

Sumparts =
VAR MaxDate =
    MAX ( 'CaseCreatedDate'[Date] )
RETURN
    IF (
        MaxDate <= TODAY (),
        VAR SUMPARTS1 =
            SUM ( Sales_per_Customer_per_Date[Invoiced_Quantity] )
        RETURN
            IF ( ISBLANK ( SUMPARTS1 ), 0, SUMPARTS1 )
    )

Thank you very much, looks like it works fine!
