    Hi  ElvirBotic ,

    Here are the steps you can follow：

    1. Create calculated column.

    Switch =
var _currentyear=YEAR(TODAY())
var _currentmonth=MONTH(TODAY())
var _maxcurrentmonthday=EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)
var _maxlastmonth=EOMONTH(TODAY(),-2)
var _switch=
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    YEAR('Table'[Date])=_currentyear&&MONTH('Table'[Date])=_currentmonth,"Current Month",
    YEAR('Table'[Date])=_currentyear&&MONTH('Table'[Date])=_currentmonth-1,"Previous Month",
    'Table'[Date]<=_maxlastmonth,"Previous",
    'Table'[Date]>_maxcurrentmonthday,"Future Month")
return
_switch

    2. Result:

    Filter the data to extract representative dates to better view the results

Hi  ElvirBotic ,

Are you saying that you want to label blank values.

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create calculated column.

Column =
var _currentyear=YEAR(TODAY())
var _currentmonth=MONTH(TODAY())
var _switch=
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
MONTH('Table'[Date])=_currentmonth&&YEAR('Table'[Date])=_currentyear,"Current Month",
'Table'[Date] <DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1),"Previous Month",
MONTH('Table'[Date])>_currentmonth&&YEAR('Table'[Date])>=_currentyear,"Future Month")
return
IF('Table'[Date]=BLANK(),"blank",_switch)

2. Result:

    This would work for one year of data, but I have multiple years of data is there a way for fix to include 2020, 2019, etc?
