How to get monthly sum through current date?
I have a calendar table that runs through 2025, and I want to sum the number of business days for all previous months up until the present day in December. How can I write a formula to do this?
=
MAXX(
KEEPFILTERS(VALUES('date'[date])),
CALCULATE(SUM('Date'[Business Days Passed]),filter('date','date'[date]=today()-1)))
This only shows the total business days in December so far, and shows it for every month which is not what I want.
I would like
September 21
October 22
November 21
December 8
I'm guessing given how your formula looks that the Business Days Passed column is something that has a 1 if it is a business day and a 0 if it doesn't - how about making a column that compares the date in your date table and populates it with a 1 or a 0 dependent on whether the date in the date table is before today or not? You could then countrows conditional on both column's status, or, equivalently, do a sumx of multiplying the two columns together?
