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!

Solved! Go to Solution.
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:
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
    )
