Filtering in DAX formula
I have a calendar showing the last day of each month from Jan 2015 to Dec 2027 ('Calendar'[Dates])
I have an actual cost table with dates ('Actual Costs'[Date]) - also last day of each month -
1. from Feb 2021 Measure = CALCULATE(FIRSTDATE('Cost Graphs'[Date]),('Cost Graphs'[Cost Actual]>0))
2. to July 2023 - Measure = CALCULATE(LASTDATE('Cost Graphs'[Date]),('Cost Graphs'[Cost Actual]>0))
I want a graph with 'Calendar'[Dates] as my x-axis giving the cumulative of 'Cost Graphs'[Value] - Measure = sum('Cost Graphs'[Cost Actual]) - but only between the First Date and Last Date - otherwise it must be blank.
So I am trying to follow online, but am confused about which "date" goes where. This is where I am at but it is soooo not working:

LisaBureau First, I would clean up the logic using SWITCH(TRUE(), ...) instead of nexted if statements. Second, have a look at this article on running totals and the associated video. Third, posting sample data and expected output would be extremely helpful.
I need it to graph only between my First and Last date - I think it is the "filter" portion I'm not getting. How do I filter my Calendar dates to only be between my First and Last on my x-axis, is really my question?
