I want to create something like this. If  today is 22 may 2020  then my sales PYTD should be from 1 Jan 2019 to 22 May 2020

So couple ways to do that @Ethanhunt123, if you go down the time intelligence route, you would create a separate Date table and use probably use something like TOTALYTD to calculate your YTD measure. Maybe something like CALCULATE(SUM([Column]),TOTALYTD('Dates'[Date]) .

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/totalytd-function-dax

 

Then you would use something along the lines of CALCULATE([ytd measure],SAMPERIODLASTYEAR('Dates'[Date])) for example.

 

The other way, See if my Time Intelligence the Hard Way provides a different way of accomplishing what you are going for.
