Hello , please i need some help is there any way to calculate the number of days of an YTD ??
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
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)
thank you for your response , but is there another way to make it dinamically , means that it take the date automatically exemple if we were in 201 , i habe to change (2018,1,1) b myself to (2019,1,1) and i want it to be dynamic ( not static)

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.
Regards,
Lydia
