Hi Anonymous ,

Can you provide the DAX formula you are using? Can you provide more sample data and the output results you want?

 

Best Regards,
Winniz

    v-kkf-msft Many thanks for your willingness to help. The DAX formula I used is as follows: MTD =TOTALMTD(COMBO1[APS],(COMBO1[REFRERRAL DATE])
    YTD=TOTALYTD(COMBO1[APS],(COMBO1[REFERRAL DATE])

    This is what I am trying to achieve in terms of output results:

    I hope this clarifies what I am asking help with. Thanks

      Hi Anonymous ,

      I want to know how you successfully changed the type of column REFRERRAL DATE? Because the function TOTALMTD/TOTALYTD need to refer to the date column, when I convert column REFRERRAL DATE into date type, the cell with the value "1900-1-0" will be wrong.

      So the table I get after conversion is as shown in the figure below.

      Can you share your PBIX file that does not contain sensitive data?

       

      Best Regards,
      Winniz

        Hello Winniz,

         

        I did not have any issues with the date because I formated the excel file with the date column as date. Again you can find the tranform tab in powerbi desktop and change the column to date format.

        Unfortunately, my file contains sensitive data so I cannot share it. 

         

        Thanks for your help
