YTD function for categorical variable

Hi, 

I am trying to create an YTD for an count of categorical variable for each event type. The data is similar to this. Now I have to create a count of rating difference from 2021-2022. How do I proceed with that ?

I used this 

RATING_YTD = TOTALYTD(Count(Sheet0[Rating]),Sheet0[Response Date].[Date],Sheet0[Rating]="Promoters")
but it doesnot seem to work. Am I doing it correct ?
