Modified MTD measure based on combination of two attributes

Hi, 

 

I have two measures Measure1 and Measure2.

I need to calculate MTD measure using the following logic:

 

* in the case of the current month = Measure1 taken from the beggining of the current month and to the current date plus Measure2 taken from the current date until the end of the current month.
* in the case of the future month: Measure1 is displayed for that month.
* in the case of the previous month: Measure2 is displayed for that month. 

 

I wrote the following:

 

SWITCH(

TRUE()

IF(
IF(HASONEVALUE('Date'[MonthNumber]), VALUES ('Date'[MonthNumber])) = MONTH(TODAY()),

,TOTALMTD([Measure1], 'Date'[Day], FILTER(ALL('Date'),[Day] < NOW()))

+

CALCULATE (
[Measure2],
FILTER (
'Date',
'Date'[Day] >= TODAY()
&& 'Date'[Day] <= EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0)
)
)

,IF(HASONEVALUE('Date'[MonthNumber]), VALUES ('Date'[MonthNumber])) = MONTH(DATEADD('Date'[Day], 1, MONTH))

,CALCULATE (
[Measure1],
FILTER (
'Date',
'Date'[MonthNumber] = MONTH(DATEADD('Date'[Day], 1, MONTH))
)
)

,IF(HASONEVALUE('Date'[MonthNumber]), VALUES ('Date'[MonthNumber])) = MONTH(DATEADD('Date'[Day], -1, MONTH))

,CALCULATE (
[Measure2],
FILTER (
'Date',
'Date'[MonthNumber] = MONTH(DATEADD('Date'[Day], -1, MONTH))
)
)


)

 

But it doesn't work. BTW while writing this post I realised that I forgot about condition year = year(today()). But I doubt that the measure doesn't work because of this.

 

I will be gratefull for any advice or tips.

Thank you very much in advance
