Create a dynamic label with dates

Hello everyone,
I'm desperately trying to create a column or measure that will serve as a label for a histogram.

 

The idea is that when I select a date in my segment, the number of matching items turns dark blue in the histogram. I managed to do it over the last month with the following formula:

Mois en cours = IF(MONTH(Fusionner1[Dateévénement])=AVERAGE('Mois analyse'[N°mois]);"Mois en cours";"Mois antérieurs")

If I go back in the history it no longer works ... :

You have an idea ?

 

PS : All data is in the same table :

Date = date fields to be taken into account in the segment

NB arrêt = data value

Unité = Axe X

Hi @kevint13,

It sounds like you want to create a dynamic calculated column that used on the legend to mark the current data and previous records based on filters.

AFAIK, current power bi not able to create a dynamic column/table that responded with filter effect. (filter/slicer are worked on the virtual tables generated from data model tables, they not able to affect their parents)

In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you create a calculate table with legend categories(current month, last month) and use it on your chart. Then you can write a measure formula to extract the selection from the slicer/filter to show different results based on the current legend category.

If you confused about the coding formula, please share some dummy data to test coding formulas and design visuals.

Thank you for returning, I want to have the history of the values of a histogram and create a label for the values of the current month. With the particularity that when I change the date segment the label is updated to the current new month
