    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,

you dont need to create 2 filters (it will behave like an or then) 

 

Headcount =
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( Link[Employee Nr] ),
'Calendar'[IsLatestYearMonth]
= IF (
MONTH ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date] ) = MONTH ( LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date] ) ),
0,
1
),
FILTER (
'Calendar',
MONTH ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date] ) = MONTH ( LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date] ) )
&& YEAR ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date] ) = YEAR ( LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Id_Date] ) )
)
)

I get an error saying "The expression contains multiple columns, but only a single column can be used in a True/False epression that is used as a table filter expression"...
