    Hi Anonymous,

    Please use the following formula.

    Measure =
VAR Select_mon =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Calendario[month] )
VAR Actual_mon =
    MONTH ( TODAY () )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        Actual_mon > Select_mon, 1,
        Actual_mon < Select_mon, 0,
        DIVIDE (
            DAY ( TODAY () ),
            CALCULATE (
                COUNTROWS ( 'Calendar' ),
                FILTER (
                    ALL ( 'Calendar' ),
                    'Calendar'[Year] = YEAR ( TODAY () )
                        && 'Calendar'[Month Number] = MONTH ( TODAY () )
                )
            )
        )
    )

Hi, 

 

Thanks for your reply. 

 

I already have a date table and a fact table, I would rather not create a second date table. Is it a way I can do this from the current date table?

something like this will work, assuming you have year and month number column in your calendar table

 

% Days = 
var totalDays = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( 'Calendar' ), FILTER( ALL( 'Calendar' ),  'Calendar'[Year]  = YEAR( TODAY() ) && 'Calendar'[Month Number] = MONTH( TODAY() ) ) ) 
var days = DAY( TODAY() )
RETURN DIVIDE( days, totalDays )

    Thanks for the reply!

     

    This worked, but it only shows the percentage for the current month.

     

    It doesn't change based on the month filter I put in.

     

    Ex:

     

    January 2018 Should be 100%

    May 2018 should be 100%

    July should be 61%

      Well in that case we need to change the dax, I just provided you based on the current date , just repace today() with selected date from the calendar in case a month/year is selected otherwise keep it today(), and rest of the logic will work.

        Perfect!
