DATESYTD - use variable for year end date

Hi, Metricbits 

According to your description, I guess that you want to create a slicer to get the end date and calculate the sum of [GrossAmt_GC] based on the end date dynamically, right? I think you can try this method to achieve this:

This is part of my test data based on your DAX formula:

1. I create a calendar table and avoid the relationship between the main table with it:

2. I created a measure like this:

Act GC YTD =

var _year=YEAR(TODAY())

var _month=MONTH(MIN('Calendar'[Date]))

var _day=DAY(MIN('Calendar'[Date]))

return

CALCULATE(

    SUM('General Ledger'[GrossAmt_GC]),

FILTER(ALL('General Ledger'),[Date]>=DATE(_year,1,1)&&[Date]<=DATE(_year,_month,_day)))

3. I create a Month-day slicer and a card chart to place this measure:

And you can get what you want.

You can download my test pbix file below

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.
