    Your english is great!

     

    *if* you calendar stopped at the end of May... this would work fine.

     

    Ignoring that, you can add a calc column on your calendar table:

    IsCurrentMonth = IF (MONTH(TODAY()) = MONTH(MyCalendar[Date]), TRUE(), FALSE())

     

    Then set a filter on the card visual to IsCurrentMonth = TRUE  ?

Hi Matt, thanks for your answer.

 

Fecha is Date, and it has Date format, is the primary key of the Calendar Table. I have used other time inteligence fuctions such as PREVIOUSMONTH() without any problem.

 

Here you can see the Calendar table:

 

 

Thanks.

My best guess is that in your fact table, you have dates WITH time -- which won't match up w/ your calendar table, which doesn't have times.   If that is the case, you need to strip off the times in the fact table.
