Dynamically Hiding Future Values in Bar Chart

Hello,

I am needing some help with the bar chart below. I am wanting to only show values for the Actuals (orange bar)  for the month we are reporting on. For example, I refreshed the report today and need to see ONLY January values. The chart is currently pulling in January and February. The refresh date will always be 1 month ahead of what I'm reporting on.

 

I'd like to build a formula that looks at today's date and automatically pulls in the prior months. So in July for example, I'm only looking at January - June for Actual amounts.

 

The Budget values (yellow bar) and Prior Year Actual values (blue line) should be shown as is, nothing needs to change there.

Y-Axis = 'CalendarTable'[Date]

X-Axis = Sum of 'vCorporateGandA'[Amount]

Column Ledgend = 'vCorporateGandA'[LedgerType]

Hi @brittanyruffin 

 

I ran the testing as follows. Maybe it'll help you.

 

My sample:

Create a measure as follows

Measure = IF( DATEDIFF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]), TODAY(), MONTH) >= 0 && DATEDIFF( SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]), TODAY(), MONTH) <= 6, 1, 0)

 

Put the measure into the visual-level filters, set up show items when the value is 1.

Is this the result you expect?
