YTD Running Total Chart

[Anonymous]

I am trying to create a chart showing the running cummulative total by day for the current fiscal year. Here is the measure I am using:

Total Proposed Project Costs YTD = TOTALYTD(
   [Total Proposed Project Costs],
   CalendarSubmitted[Date],
   CalendarSubmitted[Date]<=Today(),"6/30")

I made my chart axis CalendarSubmitted[Date], but the chart shows everything from the beginning of the fact table. I want it to just show this year by date. I don't want to have to manually change the filter on the graph every time the FY changes. How do I incorportate that into the measure? And I ultimately want to add another line with a Last YTD measure.

Hi @Anonymous 

Would you like to show total Ytd values for current year
(eg, this year2019, show Ytd values from 2019/1/1 to today)

Measure = TOTALYTD([sum cost],'calendar'[Date],'calendar'[Date]<=TODAY()&&YEAR('calendar'[Date])=YEAR(TODAY()))

Or for current year 2019, show values from 2018/7/1 to 2019/6/30?

Closer to the latter. For the current year (2019), I want to show FY 2020, which runs 7/1/2019 to 6/30/2020. I also want to show Last YTD on the same graph as a different line. My CalendarSubmit table has a column for FY, so:

Date                      FY

8/1/2019               2020

5/1/2019               2019

Hi @Anonymous 

Create two measures

CY_YTD-TODAY =
CALCULATE (
    TOTALYTD (
        [sum cost],
        'calendar'[Date],
        'calendar'[fiscal year]
            = YEAR ( TODAY () ) + 1,
        "6/30"
    ),
    FILTER ( 'calendar', 'calendar'[Date] <= TODAY () )
)

LY_YTD = TOTALYTD([sum cost],'calendar'[Date],'calendar'[fiscal year]=YEAR(TODAY()),"6/30")

I'm getting closer, but it's still not right.

I'd like both lines to start on the graph in July 2019, so I can direclty see how this year is doing compared to last year by the same point in the year.

I set the filter on the graph to relative date filtering for dates in this year, but that leaves the tail on the left. I want the graph to start on July 1 of whatever current fiscal year we are in (currently 2020).

Thanks!
