    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.
    Best Regards,
