    How about now? Tomorrow it will be 485 😁

     

     

    Measure = 

SWITCH
	(
		TRUE(),
		AND
			(
                
				SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Month_no]) < MONTH(TODAY()), 
				SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Year]) <= YEAR(TODAY())
			),
        SUM('Budget Actual'[Actual Cost]), --Before Active Month
		AND
			(
                
				SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Month_no]) > MONTH(TODAY()), 
				SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Year]) >= YEAR(TODAY())
			),
		[Actual and forecast], --After Active Month
		TODAY () < 
			DATE
				(
					YEAR(TODAY()),
					MONTH(TODAY()),
					15
				),
		[Actual and Forecast PM], -- Active Month, Before 15
		SUM('Budget Actual'[Actual Cost]) -- Active Month, After 15
	)

I've changed it a little, this should work.

 

SWITCH
	(
		TRUE(),
		AND
			(
				MONTH(dates_table[date]) > MONTH(TODAY()), 
				YEAR(dates_table[date]) > YEAR(TODAY())
			),
		budget, 
		TODAY <= 
			DATE
				(
					15,
					MONTH(TODAY()),
					YEAR(TODAY())
				),
		previous_month,
		actual_forecast
	)

coskuersanli Thanks for looking at this.
When I tried this in a measure it won't accept 'Date'[date] and when I tried to use it as a column it didn't accept today
line 7..

    Can you put () after TODAY and try again? 🙂

      coskuersanli Apologies if I'm starting to sound thick. I have left a screen short to this. I wonder why I'm not allowed to upload the PBIx file.

      Picture 2 shows the switch didn't happen. Also, I had to use the date within my dataset as datetable date was not allowed (Didn't come up)

      March 2022 should be showing PM figure.

      The column formula
