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.

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.

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
