    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 Anonymous,

You create a calculated measure, right? You should understand the difference between the Measure and Calculated Column. The measure returns a value, while Calculated Column returns a column. The Calculation you are trying to achieve is more suitable for calculated column, change to a calculated column and check if it works fine. Please connect me if there's any issue.

Thanks,
Angelia

I have changed this measure to a column, but am still getting the wrong value. 

What am I doing wrong?

 

% Days Test =


var totalDays =

CALCULATE(

COUNTROWS( DateDimension

),

FILTER(

ALL( DateDimension

),

DateDimension[Year] = YEAR( TODAY() ) && DateDimension[Month] = MONTH( DateDimension[Date] )

)

)


var days =DAY(TODAY())
RETURN DIVIDE( days, totalDays )
