Date plus two months

I have data with a "go live date." I want to show the Amount$ for anything with a Go live date of 2 or more months away. Example, it is August 2020 I want to show anything with a go live date of October 2020 onward. 

 

Calculate(Sum(Amount$), GoLiveDate >= ......? 

 

How would I write this into a measure?

Hi @bhmiller89 ,

 

Is go live date a measure or a column?

Could you describe it in detail so that we can know your scenario more clearly.

It's better to share a sample pbix with dummy data.

 

Best Regards,
Liang

@bhmiller89 - 

Perhaps:

 

CALCULATE(SUM([Amount$]),[GoLiveDate]>=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+2,1))

@bhmiller89 As a best practice, add date dimension in your model and use it for and time intelligence calculations. Once the date dimension is added, mark it as a date table on table tools.

you can add a measure something like this

 

CACLULATE ( SUM ( Table[Amount] ), DATEADD ( DateTable[Date], 2, MONTH )
