Rolling "in this month" calculation

I have an operations dashboard that displays data for the current month and year-to-date (YTD). On the current month side, all my visuals use a relative date filter to show items from "this month."

The data is updated daily, with the SQL build providing data up to the previous day (today -1).

The issue arises at the start of a new month—on the 1st, the reports appear blank because the filter is trying to include today's data, which isn't yet available.

How can I ensure that my "current month" visuals continue to display the full month's data without going blank on the first day?

Hi @simonandtony ,

 

Maybe you can try formula like below:

CurrentMonthData = 
VAR TodayDate =
    TODAY ()
VAR StartOfMonth_ =
    DATE ( YEAR ( TodayDate ), MONTH ( TodayDate ), 1 )
VAR EndOfMonth_ =
    EOMONTH ( TodayDate, 0 )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
        'Table'[OrderDate] >= StartOfMonth_
            && 'Table'[OrderDate] <= EndOfMonth_ - 1
    )
