    Hi Zaheer21

    Try sorting the Month_Name column by Month_Number in the dataset to ensure correct chronological order.

    Updated YTD Measure:

    YTD_Current_Month =
    VAR SelectedYear = SELECTEDVALUE(Bassria[Year])
    VAR SelectedMonthName = SELECTEDVALUE(Bassria[Month_Name])
    VAR SelectedMonthNumber =
    CALCULATE(
    MAX(Bassria[Month_Number]),
    Bassria[Month_Name] = SelectedMonthName
    )

    RETURN
    CALCULATE(
    SUM(Bassria[Current_Month]),
    Bassria[Category] = "Actual",
    Bassria[Year] = SelectedYear,
    Bassria[Month_Number] <= SelectedMonthNumber,
    ALL(Bassria[Month_Name]) -- Ensures we don't filter out earlier months
    )

     

    I have attached the updated .pbix file for reference.
