Calculate MAX seems to put MAX value on total line

First time posting but just trying to figure out what im doing wrong here.

 

MEASURE:

Prior Total Costs =
   CALCULATE([Total Costs],
   FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Calendar1[Date]),
  Calendar1[Date]<= MAX(Calendar1[Prior Plan Year Lookup Date])))

Need it to return the total between the months not the max value.

What exactly are you trying to do?  Explain the question in simple English rather than just pasting a measure.  Show the expected result very clearly.  Share the download link of the PBI file.

@BenBernanke , Grand total is recalculated so it will give the last month in total

 

You can have a measure like

 

MEASURE:

Prior Total Costs =
Sumx(Calendar1[Month Year] ) ,  // Assumed month Year is on column
   CALCULATE([Total Costs],
   FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Calendar1[Date]),
  Calendar1[Date]<= MAX(Calendar1[Prior Plan Year Lookup Date])))
)
