    I've managed to fix it, thanks for your help anyway!

     

    TotalYTD does allow multiple filters contrary to what Ive been told:

     

    Closed Cases YTD2 = CALCULATE(
    TOTALYTD(COUNT('Cases'[Case Number]),'Cases'[Resolution Date],"31/03"),
    'Cases'[statecode] = "Resolved",
    'Cases'[Created On] > DATEVALUE("31/3/2020"))

Hey ArchStanton 
You can't compare date with values of type text. In your measure you do that in this part: 

'Cases'[Created On] > "31/03/2020",

You need convert the text into date. Try  'Cases'[Created On] > DATEVALUE("3/31/2020")

I also get this error with your amendment:

 

Closed Cases YTD2 = CALCULATE(
                        DATESYTD(Date2[Dates],"31-3"),
                        'Cases'[Created On] > DATEVALUE("3/31/2020"),
                        'Cases'[statecode] = "Resolved")

    hi, ArchStanton 

     

    datesytd()  funcyion only give set of group of date not one by one 

    so clarify what you want?

      I want to add an extra filter to this code, namely = created on> 31 Mar 2020

       

       

      Closed Cases YTD = CALCULATE(
    TOTALYTD(COUNT('Cases'[Case Number]),'Cases'[Resolution Date],"31/03"),
    'Cases'[statecode] = "Resolved")

       

      YTD does not allow me to add additional filters, so i thought DatesYTD would work instead
