Blank() value for dates from end of current month

Hi all

 

I am struggling with a measure... hope you can help! 

 

I have a database with contracts, and one with sales orders (by shipdate). 

I created a measure which flags whether sales orders are higher, lower, or OK compared to the contract that month. The measure gives Blank() values for either no contract/no sales order combination. But I would also like it to give Blank() for any date beyond the end of the current month.

This last part is where I cannot manage to get it to work. The underlined part in the measure throws an error: a single value for column timestamp_dt in table date dimension cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation.

 

any ideas? 

 

 

Contract Application =
IF(
      AND(ISBLANK([Quantity Shipped by Actual Ship Date]),ISBLANK([ContractQty by Del/Ship From])),
          BLANK(),
         IF( (([ContractQty by Del/Ship From] - [Quantity Shipped by Actual Ship Date])/[ContractQty by Del/Ship From])>0.05,
      IF((Year('date_dimension'[timestamp_dt])*100+Month('date_dimension'[timestamp_dt]))>(YEAR(Today())*100+ MONTH(Today())),Blank(),"Lower"),
          IF( (([ContractQty by Del/Ship From] - [Quantity Shipped by Actual Ship Date])/[ContractQty by Del/Ship From])<-0.05, "Higher","OK"))
)
'date_dimension'[timestamp_dt] --> main date column (eg 09-07-17 ) 
 
Expected result:
Quantity Shipped by Actual Ship DateContractQty by Del/Ship Fromyearmonthnumber (Aggragated)Contract Application MTD
