My GL YTD measure return wrong result how to make it correct ?

[admin11]

Hi All

I have below measure which is working :-

_LYTD EXP = CALCULATE([AMOUNT],GL[1_EXP]="EXP",DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],date(year(today())-1,1,1),eomonth(today(),-13)+1))

it return correct amount = 910 693.85

i try to convert the above measure to more structure way , so that i can modify to LYTD :-

_LYTD_EXP =

var _max = date(year(today())-1,month(today()),day(today()))

return

TOTALYTD(('GL'[AMOUNT_EXP]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year),'Date'[Date]<=_max)

But it return wrong value , can some one share with me why ? and how to make it return 910 693.85

Hi @admin11  ,

I think I know what the problem is. 

the before measure:

_LYTD EXP =
CALCULATE (
    [AMOUNT],
    GL[1_EXP] = "EXP",
    DATESBETWEEN (
        'Date'[Date],
        DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1, 1, 1 ),
        EOMONTH ( TODAY (), -13 ) + 1
    )
)

Just as below,when i use the date mesuare,I get  the date calculate is 2020/1/1 to 2020/4/1

And when  I tried another measure, I get the date is to 2020/4/16 not 2020/4/1 ,due to this ,the two measure is different .

You also could use the following measure ,

_LYTD_EXP =
VAR _max =
    DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1, MONTH ( TODAY () ), 1 )
RETURN
    TOTALYTD (
        ( 'GL'[AMOUNT_EXP] ),
        DATEADD ( 'Date'[Date], -1, YEAR ),
        'Date'[Date] <= _max
    )

Final you will get the same value:

Wish it is helpful for you!

@admin11 , The max date in dates between is 1-april-2021

Try this in LYTD

_LYTD_EXP = 

var _max = EOMONTH(date(year(today())-1,month(today()),day(today())),-1)+1
// Rest is same
