Hi,
Fairly new to Power BI and would like to understand how I can possibly change the reference column to SUM if the month has not ended.
FX I have two tables, one with Actuals and one with Forecast and several DIM tables for Dates and Products or Accounts.
Would like to SUM Actuals for every month that has passed and from current month and forward to SUM the Forecast numbers.
What would the formula look like?
Thank you!
Dates | Actuals | Dates | Forecast | Dates | Output | ||
Jan | 4 | Jan | 5 | Jan | 4 | ||
Feb | 5 | Feb | 4 | Feb | 5 | ||
March | 4 | March | 5 | March | 5 | ||
April | April | 5 | April | 5 | |||
May | May | 5 | May | 5 | |||
June | June | 4 | June | 4 |

Hi @VMoza ,
Please try the following formula:
Measure =
IF (
FORMAT ( MAX ( Dim_Dates[Date] ), "yyyymm" ) >= FORMAT ( TODAY (), "yyyymm" ),
SUM ( Forecast[Forecast] ),
SUM ( Actuals[Actuals] )
)
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Thank you! This worked! 😄
Hi @amitchandak
Thank you for the quick reply, not sure if the ISBLANK would work, as there is new data for every day in March, therefore the actuals for the month would not be Blank, or am I getting this wrong?
