Dynamic Reference Line

I have a line graph showing trend lines for prices of multiple commodities. I need a vertical reference line (dynamic) on this graph to differentiate between the current and forecast values on the X-axis of this graph. (For example, if I am viewing the graph in January 2021, the line should be placed between January and February 2021)
Using a combination chart is not working.
Is there any other way to achieve this?

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can create measure to calculate specific period values and show it in the line chart:

Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Category]
            IN DISTINCT ( 'Table'[Category] )
                && 'Table'[Date].[MonthNo] >= MONTH ( TODAY () )
                && 'Table'[Date].[MonthNo]
                    <= MONTH ( TODAY () ) + 1
    )
)
