Measure doesn't work when referencing Calendar table fields

Hi All! I have 2 tables, Projects and Calendar, that are linked by the Project's created date. When I create a measure to only include 2022 records it comes back with blank but when I remove it the field property sums:

CY_Total Budget = 
CALCULATE(
	SUM(Project[Budget__c]),
	'Project'[MPM4_BASE__Status__c] IN { "Open", "Delivered" },
    'Calendar'[Year] IN { 2022 }
)

 

Any help is much appreciated, slowly learning DAX and I'm sure I'm missing something stupid.

Hi,

I am not sure how your datamodel looks like, but when I see [CreatedDate] column in Project table => I think the data type is Datetime, not date.

I suggest, in power query editor, please change this to Date data type, not datetime data type.

I hope this helps.

I knew it was something dumb! They are both Date/Time but the time values in the Calendar table are all set to 12:00 so there were no matches. Thanks for the help!
