Add current month dynamically in a table visual

Greetings

I have a table visual in powerBI and would like to show the current month as the first column and also showing only 4 months worth of data. For example in the pbix file attached current month is March 2021 and 4 months back is November 2020, I want next month to dynamically add April 2021 (which will be the current month then) and display until december 2020, May 2021 until January 2021 and so on. I have created the following measures to do the calculation so far but dont know how to make this dynamic.

March 2021 = CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE('Dehydrator Runtime'[Dehydrator Runtime (hours)]), FILTER('Dehydrator Runtime','Dehydrator Runtime'[MonthYear]="March 2021"))
===============================================================================
March 2021_ Warning = CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE('Dehydrator Runtime'[Warning Duration Hours]), 'Dehydrator Runtime'[MonthYear]="March 2021")

Thank you in advance

Hi @Brighton10 ,

 

Accoding to your description, It's suggested to use Matrix visualization.

Measure =
IF (
    CONVERT ( MAX ( 'Dehydrator Runtime'[MonthYear] ) & " 1", DATETIME )
        > EOMONTH ( TODAY (), -4 ),
    SUM ( 'Dehydrator Runtime'[Dehydrator Runtime (hours)] )
)

Please take a look at the pbix file below.
