Dynamic filtering in measure with a variable

Hi all,   I'm hoping you can shed some light on a behavior in measures that I can't seem to understand.    Context I'm trying to visualize budget, sales forecast and actuals on a monthly basis. ...

    Hi, tjalleph 

    According to your description, I can roughly understand your requirement, then I created a data model to make a test based on your sample data, you can try my steps:

    1. Create a calculated table for the slicer, which is the same as the calendar table:
    Slicer = 'Calendar'

    Then keep the table don’t have any relationship with others:

     

    1. Create three measures in the table:
    Budget =
    
    var _minmonth=MINX(ALLSELECTED(Slicer),[Month number])
    
    var _maxmonth=MAXX(ALLSELECTED(Slicer),[Month number])
    
    return
    
    IF(MAX('Calendar'[Month number])>=_minmonth&&MAX('Calendar'[Month number])<=_maxmonth+3,SUM(Budget[Budget]),BLANK())
    Forecast =
    
    var _minmonth=MINX(ALLSELECTED(Slicer),[Month number])
    
    var _maxmonth=MAXX(ALLSELECTED(Slicer),[Month number])
    
    return
    
    IF(MAX('Calendar'[Month number])>=_minmonth&&MAX('Calendar'[Month number])<=_maxmonth+3,SUM(Forecast[Forecast]),BLANK())
    Actuals =
    
    IF(MAX('Calendar'[Month]) in SELECTCOLUMNS('Slicer',"1",[Month]),SUM(Actuals[Actuals]),BLANK())

    Then create a slicer and a table chart to place them like this:

     

    And you can get what you want.

    Thank you very much!
