showing the current year excluding this month in a graph

Good day to anyone reading this!

I am trying to find a way to display the dates in my date table to show the current year but exclude the current month. For example today it should show Jan, Feb, Mar & Apr excluding May. I've been looking around and playing with the filters but those don't seem to offer what I need so I would highly appreciate any help anyone can offer. 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Anonymous My practical approach: in your Date table create 2 columns

1. CurrentMonth: FORMAT(TODAY(),"mmmm")
2. This Month:  IF(CurrentMonth=FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),"Current Month",FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ))
I hope this help
