Anonymous , YTD should be like

Att YTD2 = CALCULATE([Overall Att rate],DATESYTD('dimDates'[Date]))

it still calculates the same value without the filter, i added the filter in the hope that was the issue as we only work on acedemic years and dont want to count non school days.

  Hi Anonymous ,
  
  According to your description, you want dates not including weekends, here’s my solution.
  
  1.Create a new date table.
  
  2.Use the date table to calculate.
  
  Or you are still confused about it, please provide me with a sample and the output you expect.
  
  About DATESYTD function, you can refer to the following blog:

    The question is more around what is YTD doing to my measure?
    my assumption was that YTD was including non school days, weekends holidays etc and rounding the numbers over the extra days.
    
    I have selected last year
    
    When I put the overall measure in a line chart by month it reports the same calculation as the YTD measure.
