Only show values for complete months
Hi,
I have made a power bi report in which the results per month are presented compared to the same month a year earlier or the budget for that month. At the moment the month we are still in the middle of is also presented, but these values are always lower as long as the month is not yet at the end. Is there a way to only display a month when it's completely over?
should I solve this in my measures or through filter options. what is the best approach?
I myself am thinking of a calculated column with an if statement. which checks whether the date column contains a date that falls in a month that is in the past. if so a 1 else a 0. then so I can filter on 1. I just don't know how to write this formula.

Complete month based Today =
var _max = if( day(today()) >=15 ,eomonth(today(),-1), eomonth(today(),-2) )
return
IF(Table[datecolumn] <=_max,1,0)

Complete month based Today =
var _max = if( eomonth(today(),0)=today(), Today() , eomonth(today(),-1) )
var _min = eomonth(_max,-1)+1
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >= _min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max ) )- icturion

Hi amitchandak ,
based on your example I have now created the following and it works well:
Complete month based Today =var _max = if( eomonth(today(),0)=today(), Today() , eomonth(today(),-1) )returnIF(Table[datecolumn] <=_max,1,0)I just heard from finance that the previous month may only be available if it is at least the 15th month of the current month. How can I best process this in the above formula?- amitchandak
