YTD of years until today

[wverheijen]

Hi! I'm looking to edit the TotalYTD function to show only the total of the period from the start of the year until today, but then copied in different years and compared tot the previous year.This would be:

date                                                     Sales     Diff

2016 (01/01/2016 - 06/18/2016)           1000

2017 (01/01/2017 - 06/18/2017)           2000    200%

2018 (01/01/2018 - 06/18/2018)           1000    50%

Can anoyone help me achieve this?

What does your original data look like and do you have a date table?

Thanks for your reply! I've been working with the Time Intelligence function that you sent, this has helped me calculate the difference from years before. Yet I am facing one more problem.

this is my current result:

I need the Total_YTD column to calculate total from the start of the year until today's date. this is my DAX code:

Total_YTD = TOTALYTD(SUM(Factuurregels[Regelbedrag]);Factuurregels[Datum].[Date];
                    FILTER(Factuurregels;
                        Factuurregels[Datum].[MonthNo] <= MONTH(TODAY()) 
                        && Factuurregels[Datum].[Day] <= DAY(TODAY())
                        )
            )

2 issues appear here:

1. The values don't add up

2. it's calculating dates 1 till today for every month,  I want to see the YTD value of the full months until today's date. Wish I could just apply this: 

TOTALYTD(SUM(Factuurregels[Regelbedrag]);Factuurregels[Datum].[Date];ALL(Factuurregels[Datum].[Date];TODAY())

Hope someone can help me!

Hi @wverheijen，

I have made a test with your scenario to calculate the YTD sales between the period you required.

I created a Calendar Table with CALENDARAUTO and created one calculated column Today with the formula below, then I create the relationship with the two tables.

Today = DATE(YEAR('Table'[Date]),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))

Besides, I created two measures to calculate the YTD.

The first formula is to calculate the YTD between the period.

Measure =
TOTALYTD (
    SUM ( 'Sheet22'[Sales] ),
    'Table'[Date],
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table'[Date] ), 'Table'[Date] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Today] ) )
)

Then we need to create another measure by if to determine the date.

Measure 3 = 
IF(MAX('Table'[Date])<=MAX('Table'[Today]),[Measure],BLANK())

Here is my test result.

For more details, you could refer to my attachment.

Best Regards,

Cherry

Sorry but in your example the total field is blank! How can i show the total value? (in your example should be 18721 for 2016).

Thank you!

Amazing! This is exactly what I needed and it works perfectly!
