Bar chart displaying 24 months instead of 12 months

Hello

 

Can you please assist. I have a bar chart that displays a measure by yearmonth and I have 2 years worth of data on the report. If I haven't selected the year it shows all the 2 years, like below.

I need to default the dashboard to show only the latest year and month on the data, without the user selecting the year on a slicer:

I've tried doing it just for the year on the measure but it's still not displaying correctly (still displays 24 months), how do I go about this? Below is the current measure:

          ErrorsCY = CALCULATE(sum('Branch Scores'[Nr Errors]),
                 FILTER(all('Calendar'[Fiscal Year]),'Calendar'[Fiscal Year] = max('Calendar'[Fiscal Year])
                            ))
 
Thank you in advance

Thank you @Anonymous , but I'm still not getting the results I want. The expression works only when I select a year, see below: and I modified the DAX a bit to suit my needs:

     Measure =

         var MaxYear = max('Calendar'[Fiscal Year])

RETURN

          IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Fiscal Year]) = MaxYear, sum('Branch Scores'[Nr Errors]),

             CALCULATE(sum('Branch Scores'[Nr Errors]),

         FILTER('Calendar','Calendar'[Fiscal Year] = max('Calendar'[Fiscal Year])

)

))

Then when I deselect the year, I still get 2020 figures on the matrix even though I've specified on the DAX to give me results just for the max year which in this case is 2021. What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Tlotly 

I create a sample ,maybe you can refer to it .

Original data:

Then create a measure to return the latest data .

the latest year = CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Value]),FILTER('Table',YEAR(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]))=YEAR(TODAY())))

The effective is as shown (add the measure and date into a bar chart):
