    I ended up cracking it by adding Calculate before the whole thing:

    Verwachtte vooruitgang = 
CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE('Voortgang %'[Verwachte voortgang]),
    Filter('Voortgang %','Voortgang %'[Maand] = MONTH(TODAY()))
)

if you have 2 or more year you can try: 

 

Verwachtte vooruitgang = 
SELECTEDVALUE(
	'Voortgang %'[Verwachte voortgang],
	FILTER(
		ALL('Voortgang %'),
		'Voortgang %'[Datum] = date( year(TODAY()) , MONTH(TODAY()) , 1 )
	)
)

 

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Appreciate your Kudos!! ;-

Hey Onurbmiguel,

I appreciate the effort! Unfortunately I'm still getting the same error

I attempted to filter on the Month value (outside of the date column) , this had the same error as a result. (It's complaining about multible collumns not being converted, only a scalair value can be (whatever that may be). 

 

I'm starting to think my approach to using SELECTEDVALUE is wrong (after reading https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/dax/selectedvalue-function ) 

Since I don't want to filter on the 'Voortgang %'[Verwachte voortgang] collumn but on the Month collumn. 

 

As in the example; every month will have 1 row with only 1 value.
