Show line instead of dot in line chart when months is selected

Hi - I have a month slicer and a line graph.  When I select Feb, the line graph changes from line to a dot and displays Feb YTD.  I want the line to display Jan YTD and Feb YTD with a line instead of the dot for the selected month.  If no month is selected, I want the line to show all YTD month values upto available month.

 

Here are my tables:

 

Calendar Table

 

Actuals Table

Date joins to calendar table

Actuals YTD Measure

Hi @miii ,

 

1. Create a date table.

 

date = CALENDARAUTO()

2. Create a measure as below.

 

Measure = 
VAR _date =
    MAX ( 'date'[Date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[values] ), FILTER ( Table1, 'Table1'[date] <= _date ) )

Please find the pbix as attached.

Thank you  helped. I already had a Calender table just didn't know how to write the syntax will all the variables.

 

This is what I used and it worked.

Actual YTD:=
var maxyear = MAX('Calendar'[Relative Year Index])
var _month = MAX(Scenario[SCENARIO_NUM])
return
               CALCULATE(
                              [Actual],
                              filter(
                                             'Calendar',
                                             and(
                                                            'Calendar'[Relative Year Index] = maxyear ,            
                                                            'Calendar'[Month] <= _month
                                             )
                              )
               ),                            
               DATESYTD('Calendar'[Date])
)
Monthly Actual Line:= 

var _month = MAX('Scenario'[SCENARIO_NUM])
RETURN

if(
	VALUES('Calendar'[Month]) <= _month,
	CALCULATE(
		[Monthly Actual],
		filter('Actuals','Actuals'[ACCOUNTING_DT]),
		DATESYTD('Calendar'[Date])
	),
	Blank()
)

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

I have tried going through the topic and formula but it didn't help my situation. 

 

Any other clues would be greatly appreciated.
