TOTALYTD not working

I have read the similar posts but nothing worked with me.

 

I have a table with months (the end of each month date) and the sales target for each month.

I need to calculate the YTD target 

 

the table is  below, YTD target should be 52, but when I try 

TOTALYTD(sum(Target[Target]),Target[Month].[Date]) it gives me the year total = 105

    Hi amaniramahi 

    TOTALYTD does not work the way you expect it to. Check it out here

    Try this instead:

    Measure =
    CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Target[Target] ),
    Target[Month] <= TODAY (),
    Target[Month] >= DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ), 1, 1 )
    )

      MauriceMecowe  thanks for the reply.

      I already have created a datetable with continuous dates and created a relationship between the datetable and the dates in this table. didn't work either :(
