Variables in measure to consider month numbers

Hi,

I need help to ADD a criteria in a measure.  

My measure works fine :

Rev/NWD Current Quarter = [Rev Current Quarter] / [NWD Value]

 

BUT I need to add an exception based on calendar. 

 

The criteria is that IF I am in the current quarter (FY22 Q2) AND in the second month (January'22) then I need ONLY to consider the sum of NWD Value that in this case for Dec21 and Jan22 is  30.4 = (16.91 + 19.33)

 

I need to do this becase I have to divide Revenue/NWD based on the same quantity of months and as you see Feb22 doesn't have value.

As you see above I have revenue of 529 and 573 in Dec and Jan and I need to divide this by considering only those 2 months for NWD values

As you see I need to get 30.4 that is the result of : (cristianml_7-1646360218312.png) but at the moment is given me 20.1 cristianml_4-1646359581738.pngbacause is considering Fe22 

 

My idea was to create some Variables in order to get the current quarter... I can get to this by using

CALCULATE(MAX('00_CALENDAR'[FY & Q]   but also I need to get the 1st and 2nd month of the current quarter and I don´t know how to write this the variables.
 
Then if this happens I need to do an average on  NWD Value based on those 2 months. or 1 month. instead of the 3 months of the quarter that is giving me the measure at the moment.

Or Perhaps if I am under those months in the current month then substract NWD of the same month   like  [NWD Value] - [NWD Value] and the actual measure, let's say, gives the correct  SUM.

 

like :

hope you can help me with any other idea.

 

Thanks

Use a SWITCH() or IF() statement that handles the [Month & FY]  value of "Jan FY22"  different than all the other values.
