Calculation error in YTD due to duplicates

[Anonymous]

Hi Experts,

I have written the formula for ytd as below:

TotalGWPYTD = calculate(SUM ( PolBudget[Total Gross Premium] ), VALUE(PolBudget[Year]) = YEAR ( TODAY () ) )

and got the expected result, but there are some cases where i am getting duplicate values as below under UW type (second column) due to which the year instead of coming 2022 it is taking years in descending based on number of duplicate values:

Please advise the solution either to remove the duplicates or to fix the year part.

Thanks

Hi  @Anonymous ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create measure.

Flag =
IF(
    MAX('PolBudget'[Year])=YEAR(TODAY()),1,0)

TotalGWPYTD =
SUMX(ALLSELECTED('PolBudget'),[Total Gross Premium])

2. Place [Flag]in Filters, set is=1, apply filter.

3. Result:
