Measure Net Sales YTD showing incorrect total values for years which is not the current year

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have below measure for Net Sales YTD:

var _max = IF(ISFILTERED('Invoice Date'[MonthInYear]), MAX('Invoice Date'[DateFull]), TODAY())

var _min = EOMONTH(_max,-1*MONTH(_max))+1

RETURN

CALCULATE([Net Sales] ,DATESBETWEEN('Invoice Date'[DateFull],_min,_max))

However, when I select Year = 2021 or any year which is not the current year, it shows the wrong grand total values for Net Sales YTD (see screenhot below). For example, for Year 2021, it shows Net Sales YTD of the current year. Net Sales YTD PY and Net Sales YTD PY-1 are measures based on measure Net Sales YTD (therefore they also show incorrect grand total values). Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

@Greg_Deckler Thank you, I voted for the idea! I was wondering if you could please help me applying your dax formula of m_Total in my measure?

*Net Sales YTD:

var _max = IF(ISFILTERED('Invoice Date'[MonthInYear]), MAX('Invoice Date'[DateFull]), TODAY())

var _min = EOMONTH(_max,-1*MONTH(_max))+1

RETURN

CALCULATE([Net Sales] ,DATESBETWEEN('Invoice Date'[DateFull],_min,_max))

Net Sales =SUM(Sales[Net Line Amount Mst])

So, I would have to replace [Net Sales] in measure *Net Sales YTD by:

Net Salesm_total =

VAR _Table = SUMMARIZE(Sales,Sales[Net Line Amount Mst], "__value", [Net Sales])

RETURN

IF(HASONEVALUE(Sales[Net Line Amount Mst]), [Net Sales], SUMX(_Table, [__value]))

Is this correct or am I missing something?

Thank you in advance!

@Anonymous If you want the total for Net Sales YTD to be correct for the visual shown then I believe:

Net Salesm_total =
VAR _Table = SUMMARIZE(Sales,Sales[MonthInYear], "__value", [Net Sales YTD])
RETURN
IF(HASONEVALUE(Sales[MonthInYear]), [Net Sales YTD], SUMX(_Table, [__value]))
