measure help

[erhan_79]

hi there 

i need your support about to create a measure 

you can see below rule about that measure 

i have date column , the measure must work beased on that column : 

if the date column is current month it will write "Actual Month "

if the date column is before than current month  it will write  " Previous Month "

if the date column is after  than current month  it will write  " Next  Month "

sample : 

Current Month : September

01.10.2019--Previous Month

01.05.2020--Previous Month

01.08.2020-Previous Month

10.10.2020-Next Month

10.01.2021-NExt Month

@erhan_79 , You can try like

Month Type = Switch( True(),
eomonth(Date[Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),0) ,"Current Month" , //This Month
eomonth(Date[Date],0) < eomonth(Today(),0) && ,"Previous Month" , //last Month
eomonth(Date[Date],0) > eomonth(Today(),0) && ,"Next Month" , //last Month
[Month Year]
)

OR

//Only one month

Month Type = Switch( True(),
eomonth(Date[Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),0) ,"Current Month" , //This Month
eomonth(Date[Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),-1) && ,"Previous Month" , //last Month
eomonth(Date[Date],0) =  eomonth(Today(),1) && ,"Next Month" , //last Month
[Month Year]
)

hi @amitchandak 

thanks for your reply but , when i write your formula after "emonth" system does not accept table name "date[date]" , system wants start date as a date

@erhan_79 See attached PBIX below sig, Table (18)

Column = 
    VAR __Min = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1)
    VAR __Max = EOMONTH(__Min,0)
RETURN
    SWITCH(TRUE(),
        [Date]<__Min,"Previous Month",
        [Date]>__Max,"Next Month",
        "Actual Month"
    )

@erhan_79 

Measure = 
    VAR __Min = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),1)
    VAR __Max = EOMONTH(__Min,0)
RETURN
    SWITCH(TRUE(),
        MAX([Date])<__Min,"Previous Month",
        MAX([Date])>__Max,"Next Month",
        "Actual Month"
    )

But you can't use a measure in a slicer unless you use the disconnected table trick. In general, to use a measure in that way, you need to use the Disconnected Table Trick as this article demonstrates: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Solving-Attendance-with-the-Disconnected-Table-Trick...
