Accumulate MTD Sales up to a selected date

Hi All,

I tried to create DAX to calculate the Accumulate MTD Sales up to the seleted date from Date Slicer. 

However, it cant work once I have selected a date value.

It works when no Date is selected:

It can't work when a date is selected:

Below 2 DAXs are tried but not work. Anyone has idea how to achieve it WITHOUT closing the interacton between the date and visual?

 

Cumulative1 =
var maxdate = Max('Date'[Date])
var mindate = Date(Year(maxdate),Month(maxdate),1)
RETURN
CALCULATE(sum(Fact[NetSales]),
ALL('Date'),
Fact[TxnDate] <= maxdate,
Filter(ALL('Date'[Date]),'Date'[Date]<=max(Fact[TxnDate]))
)
 
Cumulative2 =
var maxdate = Max('Date'[Date])
var mindate = Date(Year(maxdate),Month(maxdate),1)
RETURN
IF(CALCULATE(max('Fact'[TxnDate]),ALL('Date'[Date]))<= maxdate,
CALCULATE(sum(Fact[NetSales]),
ALL('Date'),
Filter(ALLSELECTED(Fact[TxnDate]),Fact[TxnDate]<= maxdate)
)
)

 

Here is the sample pbix: Accumulate MTD.pbix 

 

Many Thanks!

A tricky game of manipulation of context,

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

Hi @CNENFRNL ,
Your solution works!
It is quite interesting for the __dt part. Let me check it!

Thanks a lot!

Hi @tamerj1 ,


It still return unexpected result when 1/2/2021 is selected:

tracyng0905_0-1649925320100.png

 

 

 

It is expected to show 3 for 1/1/2021 and 10 for 1/2/2021 when 1/2/2021 is selected. Any other idea?

 

Regards,

Tracy

Hi @tracyng0905 
You can use

Cumulative3 =
VAR maxdate =
    MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR mindate =
    DATE ( YEAR ( maxdate ), MONTH ( maxdate ), 1 )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Fact[NetSales] ),
        REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Date' ),
        'Date'[Date] > mindate,
        'Date'[Date] <= maxdate
    )
