Sorry, does your table only contain the data you have provided?
If you have a date table, can you please share it? together with any other tables.
"the Actual spend is being populated" Where from?"I have a Date filter using the Date table to filter out the Month End". What does this mean exactly?
Please provide an example as a table of what you are expecting to achieve. I can't figure out what the charts are calculating.
Thanks.

Hi Malsk1_1 ,
I created a sample pbix file(see attachment), please check whether that is what you want.
1. Create a calculated column as below
nForecast Spend = VAR _predate = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Month End] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Month End] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[Month End] ) ) ) VAR _preforecast = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Forecast Spend] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Month End] = _predate && 'Table'[Forecast Period] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Forecast Period] ) ) ) RETURN IF ( ISBLANK ( _predate ), 'Table'[Forecast Spend], _preforecast )2. Created a clustered column chart
Best Regards

Anonymous - So the solution works for when there is data for Jan and Feb, however when i populate data for March onwards it reverts the previous forecasts to 0 - see images below:
If you review my dropbox file i have created a new tab which shows i pivoted chart and how it should be represented - your solution is close as it works for Jan -> Feb but then it stops working, as in the previous forecasts are wiped.. appreciate if you can have a look - thanks.
The numbers are different from the charts i have shown here versus the sample data provided in the dropbox file
