Hi, @anithaMallam ;

You could try it.

Actual YTD =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'InfoMart CostOut_newtest'[Value] ),
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'InfoMart CostOut_newtest' ), [month] <= 6 )
)
Target YTD =
VAR val =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'InfoMart Costout_Target2021'[Target] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'InfoMart Costout_Target2021' ), [month] <= 6 )
    )
RETURN
    val
Target YTD =
VAR val =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'InfoMart Costout_Target2021'[Target] ),
        ALL ( 'InfoMart Costout_Target2021' )
    )
RETURN
    val

Because it's not clear what your actual table data looks like? , so not sure if your formula is correct, and the [DateKey] in your expression?
Or based on the simple sample data you provide, provide the result you want to output.

@anithaMallam Very hard to say given the information provided. Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

 

I can say that I am not exactly a fan of TI functions. You may find this helpful - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/To-bleep-With-Time-Intelligence/ba-p/1260000
