andrewb95 , You should always use date table joined with date of your table

 

calculate(sum('Total -Count'[Count]), datesmtd('Date'[Date]))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

    Hi Amit, 

     

    When creating a relationship to the date table (which I have updated as indicated above) the value actually changes to null so this is very unusual.

      Hi andrewb95 ,

       

      I could not reproduct your problem. Maybe you can try the following measures:

       

      Measure1 = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Total - Count'[Count]),
    ALL('Total - Count'[Date]),
    DATESMTD('Total - Count'[Date])
)
      Measure2 = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Total - Count'[Count] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Total - Count' ),
        'Total - Count'[Date] <= TODAY ()
            && 'Total - Count'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Total - Count'[Date] )
            && FORMAT ( 'Total - Count'[Date], "yyyymm" )
                = FORMAT ( MAX ( 'Total - Count'[Date] ), "yyyymm" )
    )
)

       

      If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

      Best Regards,
