TOTALYTD with 4 parameters
Hi, I'm a newby in powerbi and DAX. I have a measure that WORKS FINE but it has more parameters than it should have. My measure is: TOTALYTD(sum(GASTOS[IMPORTE]);GASTOS[FECHA];YEAR(GASTOS[FECHA]) =...

The fourth argument to TotalYTD is not a filter at all. It is a string specifying a year end date in order to calculate TotalYTD for fiscal year instead of calendar year. So we should not use another filter for the fourth argument. However, when you specify a filter condition, the intellisense signals that it is an error, but DAX engine is more tolerant during execution time which doesn’t sound like a good idea as it confused you. Power BI Team will file an internal bug to consider rejecting such expressions by the DAX engine. Thanks for reporting this.
Best Regards,
