Wrong Count in Month

Good morning. I am attempting to create a Power BI report. All has worked well so far. I've used DAX for some functions (such as cumulative total per month), I've created my own Date table, and the o...

    Thank you for the reply, I'm still learning. I did not realize that you could only have one active connector. I changed the connector to the Closure Date, and this did fix the issue. How ever, I created another chart that had a cumulative total per month using the following measure:

    Cumulative QAIL =
    CALCULATE(
    SUM('QAIL AQMS_410-40-018'[QAIL Count]),
    FILTER(
    ALLSELECTED('QAIL AQMS_410-40-018'),
    'QAIL AQMS_410-40-018'[Created] <= MAX('QAIL AQMS_410-40-018'[Created])
    ))
    This had an error when Closure Date was used, as it showed a large column with the value of "Blank" besides the months. I fixed the issue by creating another Date Table, and using one as a connector to the Created Date, and one as a connector to the Closure Date. I'm not sure if this is the "best" solution, but it worked for the time being!

    I have a very similar problem were the totals change when I drill down from the Quarter to the Months in the Quarter. These are the two fields that I'm using in the visual. 

    TotalAccounts = if(
    ISBLANK(
    DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK('CRM FactOpportunity'[AccountID]))=TRUE(),
    0,
    DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK('CRM FactOpportunity'[AccountID]
    )
    )
     

    and 

     

    TargetSales = (CALCULATE([TotalBudget],'Shared DimBudget'[OpportunitiyType]="Membership") /12)
     
    Would the way these two measures are coded be the problem?
