Hi @Anonymous 

 

You don't need to use MAX in your dormula, remove Max and just type your Variable names.

 

Try this:

 

_MeqY2 =
VAR adddays =
    DAY ( TODAY () ) + [_SelectedMonthYear]
VAR last5 =
    DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ), MONTH ( TODAY () ) - 5, 1 )
RETURN
    IF (
        'Usage Tracking'[USAGE_DATE] <= adddays
            && 'Usage Tracking'[USAGE_DATE] >= last5,
        1,
        0
    )
