Filter for all after this month

[PBI_Curve]

This might exist already but I've searched for the different phrasings I could think of.

I have 2 sets of values merged together, 1 is forecasts and the other is actuals. I use a basic If formula to show me the actuals if the associated date is on or before today, and the forecasts if the associated date is in the future. I need to change this from "everything after today" to "everything after this month".

At the moment, my formula is set as:

if ('Value'[date]<=now(), 'show me actual', 'show me forecast')

This filters out everything dated after today but still shows values that are dated later in this same month. 

Is there a simple way to just replace 'now()' with 'This Month' in some way?

Hey @PBI_Curve

I would recommend using the MONTH function to return the month number of NOW(). Also assuming that your data might have multiple years, you need to also specify that the year number of your data is less than the year number of NOW().

if (MONTH('Value'[date])<=MONTH(now()) && YEAR('Value'[date])<=YEAR(now()), 'show me actual', 'show me forecast')

Hope this helps,
