Dim Date Error
Hey Guys, Newbie here.
I am trying to calculate YTD Sales using the following Formula:
Sales YTD = TOTALYTD([Sales], DimDate[CalendarDate].[Date])
Sales exists in a fact table and DimDate is a Date dimension . The two are related by datekey.
However when I try to plot the visual for YTD Sales, I get the following error:
MdxScript(Model) (6, 39) Calculation error in measure 'FactQBTransaction'[Sales YTD]: An invalid numeric representation of a date value was encountered
I checked the date table but everything seems fine
Can anyone help me with this?
