Calculate YTD for duplicate dates

[srivally]

Hello Experts,

I am very new to PowerBI. I searched a lot to calculate YTD and came to know that we can calculate YTD only when we have distinct continous dates. But in my case I have multiple values for single date and I wanted to calculate YTD. I tried the following calculation
YTD = TOTALYTD(SUM('Sales'[Net Sales]),'Date'[Date]), but I'm getting same values as NetSales. It is not calculating YTD as we are having multiple values for single date. Here Sales is the main table and Date is Calendar table, I have created 1:1 relationship among Sales and Date table by  creating unique column and tried. But no luck as we are having multiple dates in Date table as well. Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks

@srivally,

You date table doesn't contain all the possible date values of your sales table, and you don't create relationship between the two tables, thus you don't get expected YTD value.

Please check the attached PBIX file.

I have created the relationship, but I'm getting YTD as blank values. I have attached the same here

@srivally，

Please check your Date table and create a visual as shown in the YTD-MOD PBIX file. By the way, I am unable to access your PBIX file.

I have checked the Date table and Sales table as well. I'm not sure where I'm missing. Can you please help me on this.

@srivally，

Have you checked the YTD-MOD pbix file I shared? As my previous post, your date table doesn't contain all the possible date values of your sales table. Please change your Date table to the following:

hi I am doing the right relationship and all the dates are popping in the datedim but when I create a table with both the relationship dates I get null in datedim column can you plz help me?

@v-yuezhe-msft

The datedim is a table created using DimDate = CALENDAR("1/1/2008","12/31/2020") and submit date is a another column in other table with duplicate dates. The relationship is both ways between the two column in spite of it when I try creating a table between the 2 columns I get null values for dimdate column

Hello, @srivally

Did you mark your calendar table as Date Table?

@popov
I have mentioned the same, but no luck.

Hello @srivally

Try with the following measure.

YTD = TOTALYTD(SUM(Sales[NetSales]),VALUES('Sales'[Date]))

let me know if it works
