Dynamic data segmentation

Good morning people, everything fine ?

I'm doing a project where I need the data segmentation to keep up with today's date every day.

Which would be a visualization analyzing the amount of products sold YTD (Year to Date)

So if today is 04/14/2022, tomorrow I need it to be dynamic and when accessing it, follow it to 04/15/2022.

It's possible ?

@ErickReiis , Do you need YTD based on today ?

 

example

 

YTD Today=
var _min = date(year(today()),1,1)
var _day = today()
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <= _day) )

LYTD =
var _min = date(year(today())-1,1,1)
var _max = date(year(today())-1,month(today()),day(today()))
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <= _max))

 

 

If you can default date

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))

 

 

 

You need column like this to default

Date Type = SWITCH(TRUE(),'Date'[Date]=TODAY(),"Today"
,'Date'[Date]=TODAY()-1,"Yesterday"
,'Date'[Date]&"")
