Colorizing/formatting a line up to today's date

I want to color the line of a chart up to a defined date. The rest of the line should be dashed.
For this I have already created two lines and superimposed them to format them differently. However, the end of the first line is disturbing, because a horizontal line is created.
Is it possible to hide the tail? or to format the same line to defined data sections?

You can hide the blue "tail" by updating your measure so it returns blank for those points (e.g., Year > 2023 or Date > TODAY()).

Thank you for your message @ppm1 . What should I change?

 
Running Total Cost Today =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( PCT[Actual Total Cost (€)] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'PCT' ),
        'PCT'[Period] <= MAX ( 'PCT'[Period] )
            && 'PCT'[Period].[Date] <= TODAY ()
    )
)

Please try this measure instead. Note also that filtering a whole table is not best practice, so I removed that too.

Running Total Cost Today =
VAR maxdate =
    MAX ( 'PCT'[Period] )
RETURN
    IF (
        maxdate <= TODAY (),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( PCT[Actual Total Cost (€)] ), 'PCT'[Period] <= maxdate )
    )
