Calculate MTD

Hello, 

I am new to power bi and facing an issue where I have a table with two columns 1. Effective Date and 2. Quantity, here i have to calculate MTD and show it in a line chart, But the problem is I want this measure which selects each date starting from 1-1-2018 until 31-12-2019, The effective date column is not having all this dates.

So i have created a new date table starting from 1-1-2018 to 31-12-2019, I want a measure which automatically add up the previous value and gives me the result for each month.

 

I have attcahed the screen clip of my requirement, can anyone please help me.

Please check two functions totalmtd and datesmtd

Make sure you create a calendar table and it is marked as the date in the model view

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

 MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date Filer]))
