    Hi Anonymous 

    calculated column is static, it doesn't change through dates.

    measure can't be added to the column header of the matrix.

    So i'm afraid it is impossible as you expected.

     

    We can only add "date" column in the column header.

    month dax = IF(DATEDIFF(TODAY(),MAX('Table'[date]),MONTH)>=1,FORMAT([today],"mmmm")&" M"&"+"&DATEDIFF(TODAY(),MAX('Table'[date]),MONTH))

    Hello @

     

    Thank you for your formula,

    That is exactly what I wanted, but would it be possible to add the months in column ? ( to create a new column column for later)

    Here is the current example that I have :

    I want to create a column that meets all needs per month (M + 1 N, M + 1 N + 1, ...)

    Here is an example of what I would like:

     is it possible ?

    Thanks !!
