Hi Prabha45
The formula returns blank because you are using date hierarchy in your slicer.So you didn't select a date, you selected the year and month.
Modify your measure according to the possible selections, for example :
slected year_month = SELECTEDVALUE('Dates'[Date_].[Year])&"-"&SELECTEDVALUE('Dates'[Date_].[Month])( you can add a quarter and day if you need them too)result :PBIX is attached

Hi Prabha45
1. You can't use the operator "<>" to compare strings, and month in this case is a string.
2. if you nee and as an operator you should use "&&" and not "&"
modify your formula to :Measure =Var selectyear = Selectedvalue(Dates[Date_].[Year])Var selectmonth = Selectedvalue(Dates[Date_].[month])Var ans = If(selectyear =2023 && selectmonth in {"july","August","September","October","November","December"},[plan],[actual])return ans
The updated pbix is attached.
(i used just strings for plan and actual )If this post helps, then please consider Accepting it as the solution to help the other
