Hi Anonymous 

I think you want to filter your visual to the current month when there is no selection in your “Month Year” filter.

You can try to build a filter measure to achieve your goal.

My Sample:

Filter Measure:

 

Filter Measure =
VAR _CurMonthYear =
    FORMAT ( TODAY (), "MMMM" ) & " "
        & YEAR ( TODAY () )
VAR _RESULT =
    IF (
        ISFILTERED ( 'Sample'[Month Year] ),
        1,
        IF ( MAX ( 'Sample'[Month Year] ) = _CurMonthYear, 1, 0 )
    )
RETURN
    _RESULT

 

Add this measure into visual filter field and set it to show items if the value equal to 1. We can see that our visual will only show values whose "Month Year" = June 2021 by default.

If we filter in "Month Year",result is as below.

Best Regards,

Rico Zhou
