Count of Months Measure in Power BI YTD.

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

Hope you are well,

I would like to make a measure that returns my "Date, Period" to   Count of Months up to that month.

For example if I  select March 2020  =  the Measure should show : 3    (Jan Feb March) counts.

If i choose my date filter April 2019 = the Measure should show : 4    (Jan Feb March) counts.

Can you please help with this?

Thank you,

Regards,

Ahmet

Hi @Anonymous ,

You may create measure like DAX below.

Measure1= CALCULATE(MONTH(MAX(Table1[Date])), ALLSELECTED(Table1))

@Anonymous , If April is coming from a date table

then

month(maxx(allselected(Date),Date[Date]))

or you can use a distinct count of the month

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(distinctcount(Table[Month]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))

for that also prefer to have the calendar

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

I believe this should work:

Measure = MONTH( MAX(Calendar[Date]))
