YTD showing two different values

Hi all,

 

I have two reports where I use the same YTD dax measure, but the result is really different.

On the 1st table the YTD is giving the running total, but on the second table it seems to calculating avg? Which one is correct? 

 

Measure: Net Churn - 30D% YTD = CALCULATE([Net Churn - 30D%], DATESYTD('🔎Calendar'[Date]))

 

 

Measure: CHURN%_YTD = CALCULATE([NET_CHURN%], DATESYTD(monthly_churn_db_dates[DATE_KEY]))

 

 

Thanks a lot!

    Hi, 

    For YTD calculations and time intelligence in general I would always recommend using a separate calendar table. The logic you use in your first measure involwing calendar is the correct way to utilize this dax and I recommend using it as is or crating a calculation group with that logic.

    E.g. CALCULATE(SELECTEDMEASURE(),DATESYTD('Calendar'[date]))

    For more information on calculation groups and time intelligence check this articel by sqlbi:
