    Hi , Anonymous 

    Try measures as below:

     

    LY MTD Inv Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER(DATESMTD( SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]) ),MONTH([Date] )<MONTH(TODAY()) || (MONTH([Date] )=MONTH(TODAY())&&day([Date] )<=day(TODAY()))))

     

    Here is a demo.

Thanks for responding Amit.

I am afraid i cant follow the your answer.

Isnt there an easy way of filtering out the unwanted  days of LY MTD (26-31st march 2019) by may be flagging dates in calendar table ?

Thx
