Hi @yuka_pbi
@PowerBigginer 's formula is DAX. You should use that in Power BI Desktop, not in Power Query Editor. Click "Close&Apply" and add a new column here
BTW, if you only have monthly data and the two tables are joined on Month_ID column, you can compute the YTD without adding the date column. Here is a measure sample:
YTD = CALCULATE(SUM(Revenue[Revenue]),ALLSELECTED(Revenue),Revenue[Month_ID]<=MAX('Date'[Month_ID]),'Date'[Year_ID]=MAX('Date'[Year_ID]))
