I'm trying to use a measure to calc a total budget for the year to use in a gauge. my formula is:
BudgetTotal = CALCULATE(sum('2017FinancialData'[Total]),'2017FinancialData'[type] = "Budget",All('2017FinancialData'[Total]))
I have a date slicer on the report that allows a user to select a date range...however, it is converting the measure to a YTD value instead of a Total for the Year. How do I have this measure ignore the date slicer that I have on the report?
Thanks!

Solved! Go to Solution.
It's just general "best practices" to have a separate calendar table, and power bi helps you via CALENDARAUTO( ) function if you don't have one easily. The idea is that you want a calendar w/ no "gaps" (missing days) ... and also fewer rows than would typically be in your large fact table.
Ignoring that if you want... I would expect something more like:
BudgetTotal = CALCULATE(sum('2017FinancialData'[Total]),'2017FinancialData'[type] = "Budget",All('2017FinancialData'[DateField]))
But you need to keep it in the same year, so you would need a year column in your table and add it to your All as AllExcept or add another param to calculate that is VALUES(MyTable[Year]).
Typically, you would have a separate data/calendar table, and that is where the slicer would come from... AND... where the dax measure should filter.
Your final ALL( ) looks a bit weird to me, I would expect something clearing some date fields instead.
Yeah...the All() was just an attempt to get the total.
The data table has both budget and actual rows that includes a column for the date that each row is for. I'm don't see how I could separate the date from that table?
