DatesYTD not working on calculated Calendar table

[SevsBo]

The longer tail of this question is that I am trying to create a YTD this year vs YTD last year comparison, so I am following instructions on how to build that. One of the requirements is to have a Calendar table that can be used as the basis for filtering MainTable, if we call it that, but when testing the Measure just for this year TYD I already hit a problem.

The Calendar table has an active relationship to MainTable and if I add a time slicer to the page, I can use Calendar date to filter results from MainTable, or I can use a Filter on this visual/page to filter the date, so the relationship works. But this relationship appears to stop working in the Measure.

I have already checked the data in Query Editor for MainData - the Date column is set to Date. I have also used "Mark as date table" on the calculated Calendar table.

My test measures, for this year YTD, are:

Measure1 = 

CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(MainTable), MainTable[Codition1] = "one", MainTable[Codition2] = "two", MainTable[Codition2] = "three", DATESYTD(MainTable[Date]))

Measure2 = 

CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(MainTable), MainTable[Codition1] = "one", MainTable[Codition2] = "two", MainTable[Codition2] = "three", DATESYTD(Calendar[Date]))

Measure1 works perfectly while Measure2 shows BLANK as the result.

Any advice on how to resolve this?

Hi, @SevsBo 

I reverted your problem but my measure2 is working fine, please check the attachment.

Can you provide some of the example data? Please remove any sensitive data in advance.

Hi @dharmendars007 

As stated in the original question, there is an active relationship, and the Calendar table does work as a filter outside the measure. Is there an issue with the measure?

Hello @SevsBo , 

Kindly check if your Calendar table and Main Table is connected with one-to-many relationship and it is active.
