Hello all,
I am having an issue with a YTD calculation not working when selecting an earlier date on the date slicer. It works fine when the max date is selected, but if I choose another date it only shows the values for that date period only, not a YTD total up until that date (like I would want). Here is my measure:
YTD% = CALCULATE([CountDistinctIOPs],DATESYTD('Date Table'[Date])
Source 2020 YTD
A 49
B 32
C 25
D 10
E 9
F 4
G 4
H 4
I 1
Total 138Above is what I get with max date selected. Let's say the previous month YTD was less by 30, I would want to see this when that date is selected.

Well, would probably need to see the formula for the measure.
See if my Time Intelligence the Hard Way provides a different way of accomplishing what you are going for.

That is strange you cannot see it in the post - it's there with some sample data you probably can't see. The calculation is just a simple: calculate([MyCountMeasure]),DATESYTD(DateFieldFromDateTable)
My date table is marked as a date table. Hope that helps...
