Dax to return date range for Fiscal YTD based on today

[Anonymous]

I have a calendar table with fields Date, Year(Calendar), and Year(Fiscal). I need a measure that will return the date range logic as follows, but I can't figure out the proper syntax:

Dates between:  

   Min(Calendar[Date] where Year(Fiscal) = same Year(Fiscal) as today)    and

   Calendar[Date] = today()

So if the start of current FY = 4/1/21, the date range it would return is 4/1/2021 - 5/6/2021. Thoughts for as compact of dax as possible?

Hi @Anonymous 

Sorry I missed fiscal year thingy

Could you try following formula

DatesYTD-Fiscal = 
var cur = Today()
VAR StartDate = DATE ( Year(cur), 4, 1 )
VAR EndDate = cur
RETURN
DATESBETWEEN ( 'Date'[Date], StartDate, EndDate )
ORDER BY [Date]

I am unable to run because I can't get syntax right for how it fits into a measure, but just looking at it seems like it's not going to be right because it's looking at the year of today. So, theoretically it works when we're in the months where Calendar and Fiscal year numbers are the same, but January of next year is not going to work.

Hi 

You can use the following DAX Formule. It will return the table with dates you are looking for

DatesYTD = 

CALCULATETABLE (
DATESYTD ( 'Date'[Date] ),
'Date'[Date] = TODAY ()
)

How does that fit in to checking that the date is based on the current Fiscal year?
