I am trying to do a if statement.

 

IF CURRENT(YYYY-MM) = CurrentYearMonth THEN M1

 

And I want to put that date in a card. 

 

How can I do this.

    I did it by creating a column, but I wish i didnt have to create one. 

     

    Created a new column: 

     

    CurrentYearMonthFlag =
    Switch( true(),
    [CurrentYearMonth]=FORMAT(today(), "YYYY-MM"),"Yes", "No")
     
    DAX statement:
    M0Date = CALCULATE
        (SUM(insertDatePLCS[M0]),
            FILTER('insertDatePLCS','insertDatePLCS'[CurrentYearMonthFlag]="Yes"))

    i assume you want to compare what's selected on a slicer with the current yearMonth right ?? if so then just create a new measure
    MeasureX = IF ( FORMAT ( TODAY(), "yyyy-MM" ) = SELECTEDVALUE( 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME'[CurrentYearMonth]), "A","B")


    IF This helps, just mark it down as a solution, thanks 🙂

    I am still getting the wrong result:

     

    I should be getting "2024-01-01" but I am getting "NULL"

     

    IF ( FORMAT ( TODAY(), "YYYY-MM" ) = SELECTEDVALUE( 'insertDatePLCS'[CurrentYearMonth]), SELECTEDVALUE( 'insertDatePLCS'[M0]),"NULL")

    No, I want to insert a card that gives me the date associated with currentYearMonth. With no filters selected.

    Hi samnaw ,

     

    Based on the sample and description you provided,
    You can also consider the following code to create a Measure.

    Measure = 
MAXX(
    FILTER('insertDatePLCS',[CurrentYearMonth]=FORMAT(TODAY(), "YYYY-MM")),
    'insertDatePLCS'[M0]
)

    Result is as below.

    Is this the result you expect?
    Please correct me if I misunderstood your needs.

     

    Best Regards,
    Yulia Yan
