KPI card to display current month instead of December previous year

[inahury1]

Struggling to get the KPI visual to display current month. Any help would be appreciated!

I have a measure for the previous monthly usage. 

Prior Monthly Usage = CALCULATE([Usage Days], PREVIOUSMONTH('Usage'[Started].[Date]))  

Then I have another measure to calculate the difference between the current month and previous.

Measure = DIVIDE([Usage Days], [Prior Monthly Usage], BLANK())-1

I want to display the Measure (difference) in the KPI visual but it doesn't want to display the current month. It displays December from the previous year. 

Thank you!

Hi @inahury1 
Maybe you didn't filter the report / visual.

In this case, the engine default is the end of the current year .
I created an example to show how it works.
With slicer :

Without slicer/filter:

With filter by the "main" measure not blank :

The pbix is attached (the last 3 sheets are examples of what I showed)
