Hello,

 

there are two ways I can tell you by now.

 

Adapting @Greg_Deckler you can make the year dynamic.

Measure = DATEDIFF(DATE(YEAR(TODAY(),1,1),TODAY(),DAY)

 

If you have a DateTable, which is many cases highly recommended you could use

Measure = COUNTROWS(DATESYTD(DateTable))

Something like:

 

 

Measure = DATEDIFF(DATE(2018,1,1),TODAY(),DAY)

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Hi .. wondering if you can advise .. I keep getting an error when using this function:

 

Measure = DATEDIFF(DATE(YEAR(TODAY(),1,1),TODAY(),DAY)

Too many arguments were passed to the YEAR function. The maximum argument count for the function is one.


Hi,

Try this

Measure = DATEDIFF(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1),TODAY(),DAY)

@asmagh,

Create new a new table using DAX below.

Date = CALENDAR("2018/1/1","2019/12/31")

Create measure using DAX below.

Measure = IF(MAX('Date'[Date])<=TODAY(),DATEDIFF(MAX('Date'[Date]),TODAY(),DAY),DATEDIFF(TODAY(),MAX('Date'[Date]),DAY))


Use slicer to filter your measure.
