Creating a New Measure based on MTD or YTD

Hello, 

Below are photos for a problem. How could I count a running total for the Number of Surveys received a) month to date and b) year to date? I have tried the code below but it is not working:

 

Better RT =
    VAR __Date = MAX('All survey data'[Month])
    VAR __Table = FILTER(ALLSELECTED('All survey data'[Month]),<= 'All survey data'[Month])
RETURN
    SUMX('All survey data','All survey data'[Counted Survey Number])

If I send you the data, would you be able to tell me the formula? Thanks. Basically a count of surveys received for month to date and year to date based on this source data in Excel

@Anonymous Hard to tell what is going on without sample data and more formulas but try this:

 

Better RT =
    VAR __Date = MAX('All survey data'[Date])
    VAR __Table = FILTER(ALLSELECTED('All survey data'), [Date] <= __Date)
RETURN
    COUNTROWS(__Table)
