Calculate sum of and between dates

Hello,

Can you please help me with this?

I want a measure that calculates the sum of Apples between 01/01/2024 to 29/02/2024 (end date dynamic based on slicer selected).

 

I started with this but it doesn't work.

 

Thank you

 

Apple YTD =
CALCULATE(SUM(PL_Transactions[AccountingAmt]), PL_Transactions[Type] = "Apple", DATESBETWEEN(PL_Transactions[AccountDate],DATE(SELECTEDVALUE(PL_Transactions[AccountDate].[Year]),1,1),EOMONTH(DATE(SELECTEDVALUE(PL_Transactions[AccountDate].[Year]),SELECTEDVALUE(PL_Transactions[AccountDate].[MonthNo]),1),0)))

2. create a relationship with your main table by date

3. create a measure :

apples sum =
var start_ = date(2024,01,01)
var end_ = max('DimDate'[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[AccountingAmt]),ALL(DimDate[Date]),'Table'[Type]="apple",DATESBETWEEN('DimDate'[Date],start_,end_))
Result :
