Use Selectedvalue (from 2 different slicers) to creating a cumulative metric with DAX

Hi, I hope you can help me as I have been trying to do this for days and somehow it doesnt work. 
I have a data table like the example below (this is just an example),  a Calendar table and a Parameter (Reference Plan).
I would like to use 2 slicers, one with the Calendar[Month Name] and the other with the Paramenter[RefNo], so wehn I filter for example Month= February and Reference Plan = February I will get the cumulative sum for those records that are January & February (highlighted in yeloow below).

 

Data table:

Paramenter:

imyconco_2-1702983267096.png


Calendar:

imyconco_3-1702983666843.png

 

I have created the folloing metric attemps but none work:

 

ACTUALS test = VAR selectedmonth = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Month])
VAR RefPlan =  SELECTEDVALUE(REFERENCE_PLAN[RefNo])
Return
CALCULATE([Commitment ACTUALS],
    FILTER( ALLSELECTED(financialmonthlystatus), financialmonthlystatus[Month (Period)] <= selectedmonth && financialmonthlystatus[creationperiod] <= RefPlan)
    )

 

This metric only returns when period and creation period are February = 4

Please note [Commitmet Actuals] is a metric sumarizing all amounts and filetring by Group Type = "COMMITMENT" and feature = "ACTUALS".
 
Please let me know if you need more information,
Many thanks!

I need to be able to use a selector for period month (using the calendar table) and a selector from a parameter (RefNo) which is either Feb or Sep. This wold be the SelectedValues.

With this I need to be able to create a metric to summarize the amounts where the Month (period) are <= selected Month (Period) and Month (creationdate)<=selected RefNo.

I tried maany ways but it doesnt work: 

ACTUALS_Cut-OffYTD new = VAR selectedmonth = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Month])
VAR RefPlan =  SELECTEDVALUE(REFERENCE_PLAN[RefNo])
Return
calculate([Commitment ACTUALS], financialmonthlystatus[Month (Period)] <= selectedmonth && financialmonthlystatus[Month (Creation)]<= RefPlan)
Indeed is a cummulative metric from a metric.
What am I doing wrong?

You want a cumulative measure ?

Hi, what I need is a cummulative metric compared to 2 dates. These 2 dates come from a selectedvalue on two slicers. I really dont seem to be able to calculate this.

Please indicate the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided.

Hi, here is a simple example, i would like to have a cummulative or runnning sum of the amount (commitment Actuals), where Month (period) is <= to the selected value from the slicer (Month) (in this screenshot is 2); and the Month (creationperios) is <= to the selected value in Reference Plan (in this case also 2). My result on this example should be 347:

Change your visual to a matrix and put the "Month creation date"  as a column
