@antonio_wurth Having everything in one table is never a good design, you should create a star schema, especially dimension tables for dates and customers, read more about the importance of star schema here Understand star schema and the importance for Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

although the following change should fix the issue for now I will focus on the proper data model.

 

total_sales = 
var _dates = allselected(sales_full[date_id])
var _total_sales = calculate(
            sum(sales_full[quantity])
            , all(sales_full)
            ,VALUES(sales_full[calendar_month_name_short])
    )

return 
    _total_sales
