    Hi sabd80 

     

    first we need to understand is that it is not giving you last month august total it is giving you total of [Forecast], because in that context the [Forecast] is not blank and as per your measure's IF condition we're getting that value of Forecast Total. To resolve this issue you can use this modified version of your code

    New Measure=

    SUMX(
        VALUES('Calendar'[Date].[Month]),// in your case the Month column from your dataset
        IF(ISBLANK([Forecast]), [Actual], [Forecast])
    )


    If this helps do give a thumbs up and accep this as a solution
