    Hi Sdhn420 ,


    According to my understanding, the reason why the test formula you used is reporting an error is because format("30.06", "dd.mm.yyyy") returns a text type, not a date type, so an error will be reported. Try the following formula:

     


    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.


    Best Regards,
    Henry

Sdhn420 ,

 

Can you please try the following:

 

 VAR 
DURATION = DATESYTD('d_Calender'[Date],FORMAT("30.06.2020","dd.mm.yyyy"))
RETURN 
CALCULATE(AVERAGE([SalesQty]),DURATION)

 

Best regards

Mikelytics

      HI  Sdhn420 

       

      sorry, my mistake.

       

      Please replace FORMAT("30.06.2020","dd.mm.yyyy") by "30.06"

       

      Best regards
