    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  ?

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.

Hi Scottsen, thanks for your reply.

 

In the sales table, the date is just a date without time.

 

I have been thinking that maybe there is something else I need to put in the formula that will indicate that I want the sum of sales for the current month (May), something like today(), month()....

 

Because I keep getting blank as output and I do have sales in May in the sales table, the output should be something like 10k.

 

This is driving me nuts!

 

Thanks for the help.
