    Hi inescastelhano,


    You can try to use below formula if it suitable for your requirement:

     

    Result = IF(COUNTROWS('Calendar')<>COUNTROWS(ALL('Calendar')),//check all selected or not select
	"Distinct Count: "&CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Link'[Employee]),VALUES('Calendar'[Date])),
	"Last Month: "&MONTH(LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date])))

     

    Notice: you should ensure these tables contains relationship and the cross filter direction is setting to 'both'.

     

    Regards,

Headcount = calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Link[Employee Nr]), SOMETHING TO BE FILTERED BY DATE)

 
 
like this maybe?
 
Headcount =
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( Link[Employee Nr] ),
FILTER (
datetable,
MONTH ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date] ) = MONTH ( LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date] ) )
)
)
 
unless i misunderstand what you asking for

No you didn't misunderstand. I think you're getting to the point of my question.

 

However, I know this is not working properly because my headcount for the actual month is 20K and the result of this expression is 37K. 

Moreover, I figured out this is responding to the selection, but it's not correctly calculating for the 'default' month, I also added the year to the expression to ensure it is calculating for the right year, but it's still not working. 

test3 = CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT ( Link[Employee Nr] ),
FILTER ('Calendar',MONTH('Calendar'[Id_Date]) = MONTH(LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date]))),
FILTER('Calendar', YEAR('Calendar'[Id_Date]) = YEAR(LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date])))
)
