The measures discussed within this tutorial are:

Variance All = SUM(Sales[Variance])

The column name Variance is found in the data table called sales.  This is just a numerical column.

After summing up all the variances we can calculate the min and max lines.

Const Max Line = [Variance All] * 1.2

Const Min Line = -1 * [Const Max Line]

Finally to calculate the variance to date you can use this filtered measure, which will only produce historical values.

Variance To Date = CALCULATE([Variance All], FILTER(‘Sales’,‘Sales’[Date] <= EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)))
