YTD not working with date slicer

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	138

Above 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.

Source	2020 YTD
A	39
B	22
C	20
D	10
E	4
F	4
G	4
H	4
I	1
Total	108

 However, I am getting this which is the total for that month only.

Source	2020 YTD
A	10
B	6
C	5
D	4
E	3
F	2
G	1
H	0
I	0
Total	31

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...
