help with switch previous month current month

Hi I'm using the switch function, to replace month number with month name, I need to replace any month name in the past with the current month i.e. replace May with Jun

 

here is what I have so far

Order date =

SWITCH (

   orders[est ship date Month Number],

    1, "JAN",

    2, "FEB",

    3, "MAR",

    4, "APR",

    5, "MAY",

    6, "JUN",

    7, "JUL",

    8, "AUG",

    9, "SEP",

    10, "OCT",

    11, "NOV",

    12, "DEC",

    BLANK (),"No ship date"

)

 

can this be done using the switch?

  • Hi , tjeffries 

    If I understand your request correctly, you want to convert the past month to the current month  and the future month remains unchanged.

    You may refer to this sample pbix file .

      Thank you the file worked I did want to convert the past month to the current month and the future month remains unchanged.  However I forgot that the months that are blank need to say "no date".  Can you help.. please
