Input Box Variable and Displaying Data

I have an assortment of columns in a pivot table that are loaded in as one field and they have dates from 1/01/2003-1/01/2019, but it also contains a few names show below.

I set up some start and end date variables based on the field that creates these columns because I want to display the last 6 and future 6 months. The issue I am having is it is limiting my columns to only the dates between my start and end date, But I want the ERC, Pool Life Totals, and IRR to display along with my desired months. I am not sure of a way to get the months I want, along with the named ones, to display being they are bother numberic and character.

For the dimension that has the field with the numeric and date values, you should be able to write something like:

if(

     (Field >= YourStartDateVariable and Field <= YourEndDateVariable) or

     match(Field, 'ERC', 'Pool Life Totals', 'IRR'),

          Field

)

Then just check "Suppress When Value Is Null".

This doesnt seem tobe working or doing anything at all. Your method makes sense, but I don't know how to apply this to my input box setup. I am trying to allow a selection of dates, while always displaying the text.

The calculation I gave you should go as the dimension on your pivot table, not in your input box.

I have it as a dimension, the variables in the input box have presedence over the dimension because I have to select the min and max date, then it NAMEs do not show

Ok so let's say I go with using this as a dimension to show specific months and then the other labeled fields, how can I put this into a button to enable/disable the dimension so that they see hust the months I wants, or if they disable they can once again see all the months and labeled fields. ?
