    learner03 maybe I'm not fully understanding what you're trying to do, but it seems to me that your formula could be simplified significantly to something like :

    Last 6 Months = 
    VAR _CurrentDate = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
    VAR _Result = 
    IF(
        DATEDIFF('Calendar'[Date],_CurrentDate,MONTH) < 6,
        'Calendar'[MonthYear],
        "Neither"
    )
    Return
    _Result

    Hi learner03 

     

    Try this:

     

    6 months =
    VAR _A =
        MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
    VAR _AM =
        MONTH ( _A )
    VAR _6M =
        IF (
            _AM >= 6,
            DATE ( YEAR ( _A ), _AM - 5, 01 ),
            DATE ( YEAR ( _A ) - 1, 12 - ( 5 - _AM ), 01 )
        )
    RETURN
        IF (
            'Calendar'[Date] >= _6M
                && 'Calendar'[Date] <= _A,
            'Calendar'[MonthYear],
            "Neither"
        )
