DATESYTD / time intelligence not working in custom column
- 9 years ago
Hi Anonymous,
DATESYTD() function is used for returning a table that contains a column of the dates for the year to date, in the current context. When you create a measure like below:
=CALCULATE ( COUNTA(NameOfSomething), DATESYTD('Calendar'[Date]) )
And place this measure in a table or matrix, it will return running count values for the year to date. In my sample, I write the measure like below:
Measure = CALCULATE(COUNTA('SalesFact'[ProductID]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date]))
1. The actual count of ProductID for each date is below.
2. When we put the measure into the table, you can see the measure returns running count values until 12-31 then reset. (As we don't set end date of year in DATESYTD() function, the default is December 31)
Best Regards,

Are you creating a measure.
This formula works in the measure calculation. This measure then dragged and dropped in the table visualization to get your desired output.

Bhavesh - I tried first as a custom column, and it shows 'everthing' (does not filter). When I try as a measure, I get no results (completely null/blank).

Are you using a slicer with the Year column from your calandar (date) table?

Nope, there are no slicers.
