Hello guys,   I am new to power BI and I have been struggling to make a simple month to date sales card for a few hours. Here is the formula:   MTD de Total = CALCULATE(SUM(Albaranes[Total]);DATE...

    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  ?

So, what would be the measure formula that will always calculate the sum of sales for the month we are in?  that formula you put would be a filter parameter of the CALCULATE fuction I put in my first message? I can do the calculated column for this month, but I prefer if I can do it with only a measure.

 

I have a card that shows the sales of the month in a dashboard, but when next month starts, I have to filter the card again, upload it to Power BI service and delete the other one, so what I am trying to achieve is a card that will automatically update when the month finish and the next one starts

 

How would be the formula for the calculated column THIS MONTH btw?

 

Thank you so much!!!
