    Hi sven7,

     

    You are using a column you should use a measure, columns are always calculated at row level, measures are calculated at context level so taking into account the different levels of information.

     

    Change your column to a measure and it will work,

MFelix Thank you so much for help, I really appreciate your help. Unfortunately still the same issue. I have got the YTD formula, I have set the calendar, I have linked the dates from the logs file and calendar and as the visual I have selected the dates from the calendar.

Hi sven7,

 

I have used your data and produced this two models below one with the YTD values and another with the calculated values as you can see both make the same result. so total YTD values sum up to total year, on the second table the rollup goes trough 2018.

 

Can you send a print with the measures and table to check the values please.

 

Regards,

MFelix

    MFelix Thank you for your patience. I do not know where I make my mistake, I have used just some simple data to reproduce your table, but still the same issue. Please see here. 

     

    Hope we can find my mistake. BR Sven
