Hi Anonymous
I would approach this in Power Query
Create a custom column in your table and something similar replacing the Date column with your date column name
if Date.Day([Date]) >= 26 and Date.Month([Date]) >= 11 and Date.Day([Date]) <= 31 and Date.Month([Date]) <= 12 then #date(Date.Year([Date]), 12, 1) else if Date.Day([Date]) >= 26 then Date.StartOfMonth(Date.AddMonths([Date], +1)) else Date.StartOfMonth([Date])If you are then using a Date Table and want to make calculations on the the Cut off, create either a one to many relationship with the new Cutoff date column or create the same relationship and have it set as in active relationship. When creating measures, use USERELATIONSHIP to activate the relationship
Hope this helps
