Hello everyone
I am having a problem getting the correct sales total.
In the example below, I am calculating the sales total from the beginning of each month to the 10th of the month.
But at the aggregate business unit and year level, and the totals are as for whole months
Thank you in advance for your help !!

Hi @LeszekGL ,
Based on your description, I created these data.
Create MEASURE.
MEASURE =
VAR _mindate =
EOMONTH ( MIN ( 'Table'[Date] ), -1 ) + 1
VAR _maxdate =
EOMONTH ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ), -1 ) + 10
VAR _sum1 =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
'Table'[Date] >= _mindate
&& 'Table'[Date] <= _maxdate
)
RETURN
_sum1
Measure 2 =
SUMX('Table',[MEASURE])
Measure 3 =
IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Date].[Month]),[MEASURE],[Measure 2])
If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
Best Regards,
Clara Gong
