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.

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