Calculate YTD Sold vs Last Year YTD

[joshs444]

I have this table:

It is just item number in rows, year in column, and sum quantity in value.

I would like to create the same table, but instead of the total for the year in previous years, I would like it to calculate the total based on the YTD time in the current year.

So if this year total is only from Jan-March, I would like the other columns to have totals that only included dates in their respective year from Jan-March.

Im sure there is a time intelligence funciotn for this. Any help is appreciated

Ill go through it thanks.

I also found a workaround, making a calculated column in my date table to say "YES" if the month/day in the current year has happened in past years:

YTD =

IF (

    [Date] > TODAY(),

    "No",

    IF (

        OR (

            [MonthNumber] < MONTH(TODAY()),

            AND (

                [MonthNumber] = MONTH(TODAY()),

                [DayNumber] <= DAY(TODAY())

            )

        ),

        "Yes",

        "No"

    )

)

Source data is just sales data. Date, item number, and quantity sold. It is also linked to a date table.

The quantity is just a sumx  measure
