Default assumptions to a Natural Language Q&A PowerBI Linguistic

I have some accounting data with entire, category and calendar table

I want my powerboat linguistic to answer queries assuming some default values e.g. 

 

what is my sales [assume current year sales] 

 

I have been able to connect sales with category and amount though it is still showing total value not the current year. 

 

for working around the solution, i made a measure named "Current" is now() at its formula 

 

but how can I make the system assume current in my example above

Hi @sjehanzeb ,

 

I create a sample. Please check if this is what you want:

Or you can use "this year". Both have the same effect.

this wasn't exactly what i was looking for. the problem is that I related the information to fiscal year and not calendar year. 

 

but as the question did not mention this, i am accepting the answer as correct.
