Help with YTD Sum
I've tried this a number of ways but I have a set of data that I need to create YTD sums for and still be able to filter. I've created this example set of data that highlights my problem.
.
You can see in the date field there will be multiple entries for the same day. The "column" field shows one of the ways I have tried this. I have created a seperate date table and used that date instead of the one in the table. Any thoughts on how I can get this to work?
Thanks!
You don't need a Column.
You need a Measure that calculates the YTD values, and then put it into a Table in PowerBI
like:TotalExpense= TOTALYD(SUM(Table1[Expense]); Sheet1[Calendar Date])
Then create a new Table, insert the Date, Name, State, Expense and Total ExpenseMeasure you just created
