Summing up YTD numbers

[YBZ]

Hi all,

I have a date filter in my report with an overview of all months. 

Now I would like to create a measure that gives me the year-to-date sum of a column when I click on for example April.

I have tried it with TOTALYTD()

expression : sum of my column

dates : column date

It however doesn't make sense and obviously the outcome of the measure is incorrect. 

Anyone knows how to do it or can point me in the right direction?

Regards

thanks, that works! I had initially a wrong date format 🙂

@YBZ , if you using month year slicer from the date table. It should work

YTD Sales = Totalytd(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),'Date'[Date],"12/31")

or

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
