    Hi Binway ,

     

    Please change the relationship between your date table and fact table to single direction

     

     

    Then use the following measure:

     

    New Amounts = 
VAR __min = CALCULATE ( MIN ( MonthlySales[month_starting]), ALLSELECTED(MonthlySales))
VAR __max = CALCULATE ( MAX ( MonthlySales[month_starting]), ALLSELECTED(MonthlySales))
VAR RESULT = IF(MAX(date_dim[first_day_of_month])>=DATE(YEAR(__min-10),MONTH(__min-10),1)&&MAX(date_dim[first_day_of_month])<=__max ,
                        SUM(MonthlySales[Sales])+0) return RESULT

     

     

    If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

     

    Best Regards,

    Dedmon Dai

Binway , Try like this

 

All Amounts =
VAR __min = CALCULATE ( MIN ( MonthlySales[month_starting]), ALLSELECTED())
VAR __max = CALCULATE ( MAX ( MonthlySales[month_starting]), ALLSELECTED())
RETURN
calculate(SUM(MonthlySales[Sales]) , filter( date, date_dim[first_day_of_month] >= __min && date_dim[first_day_of_month] <= __max)) + 0

Thnaks Amit,

That code is very close.  Unfortuntely the +0 returns all the values in the dim_date which I would have thought the filter code would have taken care of.

I changed the final line to add another calculate to try create all the values including 0 and then filter but that is not working either:

All Amounts =
VAR __min = CALCULATE ( MIN ( MonthlySales[month_starting]), ALL())
VAR __max = CALCULATE ( MAX ( MonthlySales[month_starting]), ALL())
VAR __date = MAX(date_dim[first_day_of_month])
RETURN
CALCULATE(CALCULATE(SUM(MonthlySales[Sales]))+0,FILTER( date_dim, date_dim[first_day_of_month] >= __min && date_dim[first_day_of_month] <= __max))
