    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    What  you're trying to achieive is not YTD but rather a cumulative count or sum. The concept of YTD is tha a calculation resets at every change of year (calendar or fiscal).  Try this instead:

     

     

    cumulative =
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'table'[column] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'table' ), 'table'[year] = MAX ( 'table'[year] ) )
    )
    

     

    the formula above assumes that you don't have  separate dates table and you're only calculating for the cumulative sum/count by  year and not for every date.
