limiting dimension values of month by start date and end date

Hi i wonder if anyone can help me find a solution for a  tricky problem.

 

i have a fact table that Holds a %Calendar_Key and a %Cycle_Plan_Key and a %Consent_Key

the problem is the %Calendar_Key is a range calender key that holds start date and an end date.

This is to determine when a Consent started and when it will expire.

eg %Consent_Key = 123456 has a calender key of  43131|44159  this equates to the below

31/01/2019
until 

31/10/2020


this will join to a master calender that holds all the individual months and years for this range. 

on the other side i have also a list of %Cycle_Plan_Key in the fact table this will determine which monthly cycles fall withing the start date and end date range, 

example. 

%Cycle_Plan_Key

a4g1o000000TVeHAAW
Cycle name is 

2019.1.1-2019.4.30


the problem is when i select this Cycle Name 2019.1.1-2019.4.30 i get all the month from jan until december , instead of just the months that fall into this Cycle. whcih should be Jan to April.

in the Cycle Dimension i do have a start date and end date that i can use to limit the dimension in the calender but im unsure how. 

Cycle End Date Cycle Start Date
30/04/2019 01/01/2019

I managed to fix this 

with the following  formula in  the month dimension and i get the dimension month correctly 

if(Month([Cycle Start Date]) = 'May' and 
Match (Month, 'May','Jun','Jul', 'Aug'), Month,
if(Month([Cycle Start Date]) = 'Jan' and 
Match (Month, 'Jan','Feb','Mar', 'Apr'), Month,
if(Month([Cycle Start Date]) = 'Sep' and 
Match (Month, 'Sep','Oct','Nov', 'Dec'), Month
)
)
