    Hi, andrewb95 

     

    Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

    Table:

     

    You may create two measures as below.

    TotalSalesMonth To Date = 
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[Value]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            [Date]<=MAX('Table'[Date])&&
            FORMAT([Date],"mmm yyyy")=FORMAT(MAX('Table'[Date]),"mmm yyyy")
        )
    )

     

    Forecast TotalSalesMonth = 
    var _days = DAY(EOMONTH(MAX('Table'[Date]),0))
    var _avg = 
    CALCULATE(
        AVERAGE('Table'[Value]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('Table'),
            'Table'[Date]<=MAX('Table'[Date])&&
            FORMAT([Date],"mmm yyyy")=FORMAT(MAX('Table'[Date]),"mmm yyyy")
        )
    )
    return
    _avg*_days

     

    Result:

     

    Best Regards
