FILTER ( FILTER(Order2020,Order2020[Order Date]<08/31/2020),[Category] = "Furniture" ))

Are you looking for a cumulative total every month, like

calculate (
SUM ( Order2020[Profit] ),FILTER('Date','Date'[Date]<= max('Date'[date])),[Category] = "Furniture" )

calculate (
SUM ( Order2020[Profit] ),FILTER('Date','Date'[Date]<= date(2020,08,31)),[Category] = "Furniture" )

Make sure you have a calendar table

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Very difficult without sample data. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

 

That being said, EOMONTH may be of use. Also, See if my Time Intelligence the Hard Way provides a different way of accomplishing what you are going for.
