Calculate using date filter

Hi,

 

I'm trying to this:

But I can't and don't understand why.

 

I'm trying to sum to a certain reporting date which changes and so can't be hard coded.

This is the DAX I have for it:

So what am I missing?  All help appreciated.

Hi @kylee_anne 

 

Try this,

 

Calculate( Sum ( Sales), Filter ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date]= Max( 'Table'[Date]))

 

I hope I answered your question!

It is not allowed to reference a measure in a predicate filter argument - a simple equation. We need to write in its complete form with FILTER. 
 
try like:
Earned =
CALCULATE(
    SUM(data[hours]),
    FILTER(
        data, 
        data[date] = [Reporting Period]
    )
)
