Calculate and show YTD values month by month with fiscal year unequal calendar year

[cerebro]

Dear everybody,

our business year starts in April.

I am trying to show ytd revenues every month sorted by product and source with this formula

QTY YTD = CALCULATE ((TOTALYTD(SUM('Sales'[ QTY]), 'Sales'[Date].[Date], ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Source], 'Sales'[Product]))))

Where do i insert the stop date of 31.03 to prevent the formula from counting after the 31st of March?

Please see my project file with sample data under the following link

@cerebro , Use a date table joined with date of you table and create measure like example

example

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))

YTD =
var _max = if(isfiltered('Date'),MAX( 'Date'[Date]) , today())
var _min = eomonth(_max,-1*MONTH(_max))+1
return
CALCULATE([net] ,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],_min,_max))

You can also consider the window function

thanks a lot. i implemented your solution and it worked.

will power bi always need this special "date table" to work with measures that require date intervalls?
