Time intelligence methods for hourly calculations

So, here is a measure that works just fine when I'm using the Daily calendar. What could be the possible directions for doing the same when using Hourly calendar?

 

Cumulative sum =
CALCULATE (
    [Measure],
    CALCULATETABLE (
        SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( DATESYTD ( 'Daily calendar'[Date], "31/03" ))))

    Hi janislv ,

     

    I tested your measure and I find that it will return the YTD sum of [Measure] after 03/31 by  in last year. If you want to do the same with Hourly , I think time intelligence functions don't support you to do this. Try this code.

    Here I want to get YTD sum of values after 06/01 8:00:00.

    My sample:

    Measure:

     

    Measure 3 = 
VAR _ADD1 = ADDCOLUMNS(ALL('Table'),"Year",YEAR('Table'[Date]),"Month",MONTH('Table'[Date]),"Day",DAY('Table'[Date]),"Hour",HOUR('Table'[Date]))
VAR _ADD2 = SUMMARIZE(_ADD1,[Year],"Sum", SUMX(FILTER(_ADD1,[Year]=EARLIER([Year])&&[Month]>=6&&[Day]>=1&&[Hour]>8),[Value]))
Return
SUMX(FILTER(_ADD2,[Year] = MAX('Daily calendar'[Year])-1),[Sum])

     

    Result is as below.

    Hi janislv 

     

    Can you post sample data as text and expected output?

    Time intelligence functions address dataset at granularity of date.
