    Yeah, sort of.  Keep in mind that this will be very wobbly at the beginning of the month.  Let's say

     

    July - starts on a Friday

    August - starts on a Monday

    September - starts on a Thursday

     

    Let's assume you only have transactions Monday through Friday.

     

    First 6 days:

    July: 4 working days

    Aug: 5 working days

    Sept: 4 working days

     

    I think you can see where this is going.  It becomes less of a problem the older a month gets.

Hi Dlahey ,

 

Based on your description, please try this measure.

Measure = 
VAR _date = CALCULATE(MAX('FactSalesTable'[Date]),ALL('FactSalesTable'))
VAR _day = DAY(_date)
VAR _year = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Year])
VAR _month = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Month Number])
VAR _sales = CALCULATE(SUM('FactSalesTable'[Sales]),FILTER('Calendar','Calendar'[Date]>=DATE(_year,_month,1)&&'Calendar'[Date]<=DATE(_year,_month,_day)))
RETURN
_sales

The PBIX file is attached for reference.
