    mork This should work...

     

    Column =
IF ( YEAR ( Calendar[Date] ) = YEAR ( NOW () )

    TRUE (),
    FALSE ()

mork This should work for you however in your dateColumn you will only need date that is not greater than today. 

 

NewColumn = IF( DATEDIFF('YOURTABLE'[dateColumn],TODAY(),DAY) <= 30, "Yes", "No")

    Unfortunately that's is not what I want. Your formula is about the previous 30 days and not about the previous month. So for example today is the 13th of May. The data that I will see won't be the data of the previous month but will be the data of the last 30 days. Meaning half of April and half of May.
