Exclude current month

Hello,

I have a monthly sales data in the last 3 years.  I would like to create line chart that shows monthly sales in the last 3 years.

 

What would be the measure to exclude the current month, or to exclude if the month is still not finished? Thanks.

 

For example, for the 2024, since June is still not finished, the 2024 chart line should stop in the month of May.

    Hi Oros ,
    You just nned to apply filter in your DAX Measure 

     

    Sales_Excluding_Current_Month = 
VAR CurrentMonth = MONTH(TODAY())
VAR CurrentYear = YEAR(TODAY())
RETURN
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Sales[SalesAmount]),
    FILTER(
        Sales,
        YEAR(Sales[Date]) < CurrentYear ||
        (YEAR(Sales[Date]) = CurrentYear && MONTH(Sales[Date]) < CurrentMonth)
    )
)

    you should use a date table/Calender table and use the measure below.

    Total Sales =
    VAR CurrentMonth = MAX('Date'[Date])
    VAR LastMonth = CALCULATE(MAX('Date'[Date]), ALL('Date'))
    RETURN
    IF(
    CurrentMonth = LastMonth,
    BLANK(), -- Exclude current month if it's the last available month
    CALCULATE(
    SUM('Sales'[SalesAmount]),
    FILTER(
    ALL('Date'),
    'Date'[Date] <= LastMonth -- Include months up to the last completed month
    )
    )
    )
