Time Intelligence DAX not working for YTD PY

Hey everyone. The above is a video of what I am getting. Effectively, I have tried to use the time intelligence functions, but I am still getting the wrong number.

m_BillingTotalCY YTD 2 = TOTALYTD(

SUM(t_STATS_Daily_Billing2[Billing Total]),

t_STATS_Daily_Billing2[Billing Date])

m_BillingTotalPY YTD 3 = CALCULATE([m_BillingTotalCY YTD 2],

SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(t_STATS_Daily_Billing2[Billing Date])

)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, everyone. I will give these a try and report back shortly.

@crisher , Try like

m_BillingTotalCY YTD 2 = TOTALYTD(
SUM(t_STATS_Daily_Billing2[Billing Total]),
dateadd(t_STATS_Daily_Billing2[Billing Date],-1,year))

You should always use date table for time intelligence

m_BillingTotalCY YTD 2 = TOTALYTD(
SUM(t_STATS_Daily_Billing2[Billing Total]),
dateadd(Date[Date],-1,year))

example

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
