DAX Measures

I am trying to calculate and show sum of only the current month and not the YTD. I used this CurrentMonth = CALCULATE(SUM('YourTable'[YourColumn]), FILTER(ALL('Date'[Date]),'Date'[Date] >= STARTOFMONTH(TODAY()) && 'Date'[Date] <= TODAY())) but not working.

Need Help

    Hi, Your DAX metric looks correct for calculating the sum of the current month's columns. If this measure is not working as expected, ensure the following:
    Date Table Relationship: Ensure that the 'Date' table contains 'YourColumn' with the table.
    Date format: ensure that the t'Date' table
    DateRange in the data:
    Measurement Usage CurrentMonth: make sure you are using the ` measurement in the following context:

    Hi, Anonymous 

    Thanks for hackcrr reply. In fact, this function should be populated with a date column, where the Today function does not work. You can use the EOMONTH function with the TODAY function to get the date at the beginning of the month.



     


    STARTOFMONTH - DAX Guide

    DAX:

     

    CurrentMonth = 
VAR _getCurrentStartMonth =
    EOMONTH ( TODAY (), -1 ) + 1
VAR _result =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Date'[Date] ),
            'Date'[Date] >= _getCurrentStartMonth
                && 'Date'[Date] <= TODAY ()
        )
    )
RETURN
    _result
