override slicer value in measure

I am very new to power bi and dax, so I thought I start with a simple dax formula.....and failed

 

I have a table with

year, month,value

I created a slicer with "month"to select"

I want to measures

1. sum of values of selected month

2. sum of values where month <= selected month

 

Month is a numeric field, so  not a date field.

 

First calculation is simple but second value gives the same result as 1.

 

This is my formula:

Cumulative_value = sumx(filter(table, table[month] <= selectedvalue(table[month]))tabel[values])


What am I doing wrong ?

Hi @newtopbitoo 

Cumulative_value =
VAR aux_ =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( table1[month] )
RETURN
    SUMX ( FILTER ( ALL ( table1 ), table1[month] <= aux_ ), table1[values] )

Or alternatively:

Cumulative_value =
VAR aux_ =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( table1[month] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( table1[values] ), table1[month] <= aux_ )

 

It would be better to have dates rather than two separate columns with year and month. That will not work if your data spans more than one year
