Helper IIIYTD Total is Slightly Off
Good morning,
I've noticed an error in my running total (column 'Measure'). I'm thinking it's easy but having some problems tinkering with it.
I want to simply add the totals in [% Turnover] (this is a measure) together. So it's simply 9.7 + 7.1 + 10.3 = 27.1% but I'm getting 27.5%.
I understand that the 27.5% is coming from the total terminations / YTD average ([14+12+23] / AVERAGE(144.3+168.3+222.7)) but I do not want this way of calculating it as it tends to confuse the audience.
Can anyone provide a formula to try so I get the 27.1% at end of Q3?
Hi seanpratt ,
According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.
(1) This is my test data.
(2) We can create a calculated column.
Year = YEAR('Table'[Date])Quarter = QUARTER('Table'[Date])(3) We can create a measure.
Measure = CALCULATE([% Turnover],'Table'[Quarter]<=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Quarter]))(3) Then the result is as follows.

Hi seanpratt,
You can use:
Measure = CALCULATE([% Turnover],FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Quarter]<=MAX('Table'[Quarter])))Works for you? Mark this post as a solution if it does!

seanprattUnfortunately that did not work. It actually kept a running count into the following year which is not ideal.
