DATEYTD issue

Hello Team,

 

Hope you are fine. I am having an issue with the below DAX:

 

Total_Sales_FYTD = Calculate(Sum(Append1[Sales_Amount]),
(DATESYTD(Append1[Date],"31/12")))
 
It was working until I refreshed and below is the error message: 
Hasvine2022_0-1659501219429.png

 

I tried checking online but I can't figure out the issue. Could you please kindly assist?

 

Thank you.

 

Kind Regards

@Anonymous , for time intelligence always use date table joined with your date of the table

 

Total_Sales_FYTD = Calculate(Sum(Append1[Sales_Amount]),
(DATESYTD(Date[Date],"31/12")))

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 :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
