I have an issue due to the way my data is currently being calculated that I hope you can help me with. Previously, I got help on creating a forumla to properly get churned customers. You can find the help I recieved here. The issue I have is that the way the current data works is that I have future dates in my calendar table because subscriptions can last for up to 5 years. When I use the formula as written in that response with my current data, I get all future dates as well. I need to hardcode the end date filter in my churn forumla or in the sumx forumla in order to stop showing future dates in visuals and other displayed resutls. I know I can limit this in visuals through filters; however, due to the way that visuals interact, it carries the carries the filter forward which I do not want. Is there a way to apply a filter onto either of these formulas in order to ignore all dates beyond the current (real time) month?
Note - I cannot edit the calendar table as the way it is set up currently is needed for other forumlas and functions.
Current forumulas
Churned Count = SUMX(
VALUES('Calendar'[Month-Year]),
[Churned Count Helper]
)
Churned Count Helper =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
CALCULATETABLE(
VALUES(Customers[Tenant Id])),
CALCULATE([Total Billable Count],
DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],EDATE(MIN('Calendar'[Date]),-6),
MAX('Calendar'[Date])
)) = 0 &&
CALCULATE([Total Billable Count],
DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],
EDATE(MIN('Calendar'[Date]),-7),
EOMONTH(EDATE(MIN('Calendar'[Date]),-7),0)
)
)>0
)
)
Attempted Forumla
Churned Count Helper =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
CALCULATETABLE(
VALUES(Customers[Tenant Id])),
CALCULATE([Total Billable Count],
DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],EDATE(MIN('Calendar'[Date]),-6),
MAX('Calendar'[Date])
)) = 0 &&
CALCULATE([Total Billable Count],
DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],
EDATE(MIN('Calendar'[Date]),-7),
EOMONTH(EDATE(MIN('Calendar'[Date]),-7),0)
)
)>0 && CALCULATE([Total Billable Count], 'Calendar'[Date] <= EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0))
)
)

Thank you! That indeed worked. I'm still learning how to do filters in Power BI and I was trying to do the same thing without having to make a new column when I should have just did it that way like in Pandas ha!
