So the way I would do this is through changing the measure you are using for the visuals.

 

something like this should work, when a single month is selected it will calculate the specificd measure from the start of the calendar year to the previous month.

 

Measure =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( DateTable[Month] ),
    CALCULATE (
        [Measure],
        DATESBETWEEN (
            DateTable[Date],
            DATE ( YEAR ( MAX ( DateTable[Date] ) ), 1, 1 ),
            EOMONTH ( MAX ( DateTable[Date] ), -1 )
        )
    )
)

    I change some syntax who were not working, so this is the syntax who work

     

    date2 = 

IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Data input'[Date].[Month] );
    CALCULATE (
        
        DATESBETWEEN (
            'Data input'[Date].[Date];
            DATE ( YEAR ( MAX ( 'Data input'[Date].[Date] ) ); 1; 1 );
            EOMONTH ( MAX ( 'Data input'[Date].[Date] ); -1 )
        )
    )
)

    Otherwise, is is not accept this measure as slicer

      So does the measure work for your needs?

       

      The reason you had to make the changes are two fold

      1. You are in a different region hence the , vs ;

      2. You do not have a datetable linked to your data table hence having to use the inbuilt datetable.

      HI frostys,

       

      Current power bi not support to create dynamic calculated column/table based on slicer/filter.

      In addition, measure is possible to dynamic change based on slicer/filter, but power bi not support to use as source of slicer or axis of visual.
