I have been trying every version of year to date calculations I can find, but I keep just getting the current week in the field. Is the fact that it's weekly rather than monthly the issue? I'm a new Power Bi user, but I cannot find any tutorials anywhere to help.
@Anonymous , you seem to try column, while it should be created as a measure
Try these with Date table . All measures
YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD((Table[Date]),"12/31"))
This Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD((ENDOFYEAR(Table[Date])),"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd(Table[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
Last YTD complete Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd(Table[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))
Last to last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd(Table[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd(Table[Date],-1,Year))
Year + 3 week behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd(dateadd(Table[Date],-1,Year),-21,Day))
To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
