Stopping Line Graph to current month
I have a line graph that calculates a cumulative total from previous year and continues the total to the new year. I'm having trouble stopping the measure to the current month. I need the line to stop at Feb with total of 2931 but the total gets repeated for the remainder of the year.
Line Graph Measure: CALCULATE(SUM('Opened Reqs'[OPEN_BY_MONTH]) + sum('Filled Reqs'[FILL_CLOSE_BY_MONTH]),
CALCULATETABLE(DATESBETWEEN('Forecast Calendar'[Date],"1/1/2015",[Max Date])))
Max Date:= If ([Max Open Date]> [Max Filled Date],[Max Open Date],[Max Filled Date])
Tables
- Opened Reqs
- Filled Reqs
- Forecast Calendar table with past and future dates upto 2022.

Apologies for that...The variables aren't what you need.
Do you have a YearMonth column in your Calendar Table? (if not, please add one using the "following" DAX:
YearMonth = Calendar[Year] *100 + Calendar[Month Number]
and format it as a whole number.
For illustration purposes, I'm using a dummy model, so please adapt to yours:
Cumulative measure (no need to change yours):
Cumulative Forecast = CALCULATE([Sum of Forecast]; FILTER(ALL('Calendar Table'); 'Calendar Table'[date] <= MAX('Calendar Table'[date])))Now you can use the following measure to cut the values off at the current month:
Cut off Forecast = VAR calc = FORMAT(YEAR(TODAY()) *100 + MONTH(TODAY()); "0000") Return IF(MAX('Calendar Table'[YearMonth]) <= calc; [Cumulative Forecast]; BLANK())

Add one more condition
Max Date:= var _max = If ([Max Open Date]> [Max Filled Date],[Max Open Date],[Max Filled Date]) return if(_max>today(),today(),_max) Or Max Date:= var _max = If ([Max Open Date]> [Max Filled Date],[Max Open Date],[Max Filled Date]) return if(_max>eomonth(today(),0),eomonth(today(),0),_max)Appreciate your Kudos.

Thanks for the feedback. That did not work. I tired both the suggestions and updated the Max Date calc. My line graph still displays cumulative value for future months.

Assuming your x-axis is form your calendar table, try this measure in your line graph:
Measure cut off = IF(MAX(Calendar[Year]) <= YEAR(TODAY()) && MAX(Calendar[Month]) <= MONTH(TODAY()), [your measure], BLANK())
PaulDBrown That solution did not work either. Could the issue be in the main measure that caluclates the cumulative total? Based on the data in the table, the cumulative measure displays the correct total.
Cumulative Measure: CALCULATE(SUM('Opened Reqs'[OPEN_BY_MONTH]) + sum('Filled Reqs'[FILL_CLOSE_BY_MONTH]),
CALCULATETABLE(DATESBETWEEN('Forecast Calendar'[Date],"1/1/2015",[Max Date])))Anonymous
