    Hi Anonymous ,

    As my previous note in the formula, you can use today() function to replace the specific date in the formula:

    Measure = 
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] ) >= EDATE ( TODAY(), 3 )
        && SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] ) <= EDATE ( TODAY(), 6 ),
    1,
    0
)

    Result:

Thanks very much. I think this is now working exactly how i need it to. Out of curiosity how does the measure know to choose the month and not the day or year?

Also i can use the same measure to create another filter for date in the next 6-12 and 12-18 just by copying this measure and changing the 3 and the 6 to 6 and 12?

Thanks

Alex

    Hi Anonymous ,

    "Out of curiosity how does the measure know to choose the month and not the day or year?"

    This is how EDATE() works, it returns the date that is the indicated number of months before or after the start date. You can refer my first post link about this function which introduces it in details.

     

    "Also i can use the same measure to create another filter for date in the next 6-12 and 12-18 just by copying this measure and changing the 3 and the 6 to 6 and 12?"

    If the date is not above the power bi limitatio, you are right.

      Hi,

      I have just applied the following mesure for 12-36 months and it doesnt seem to be working. Does this have a limit on what months it can go from and to? Capture2.PNG
