    Hi Mani_ms ,

     

    Do you want to calculate the cumulative value when the month is equal to today's month, the other months show the value of the current month?

    For example, when the month name is Aug, it will calculate the cumulative value.

     

     

    If yes, you can use the following measure.

     

    Measure = 
var _YTD = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[quantity]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Country]),'Table'[Month number]<=MAX('Table'[Month number])))
var _currentmonth = FORMAT(TODAY(),"mmm")
var _sum = SUM('Table'[quantity])
return
IF(
    MAX('Table'[Month name])=_currentmonth,_YTD,_sum)

     

     

    If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

     

    Best regards,

Hi Mani_ms ,

 

You can remove VALUE from the formula.
