To create a YTD type measure using Power BI, use the TOTALYTD time function. YTD is the abbreviation of the Year-To-Date and it represents the total to date of a given measure. In other words, from the beginning of the year to the current date. The YTD value can be based on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalancemoney.com\/fiscal-year-definition-federal-budget-examples-3305794\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fiscal calendar<\/a> or on a regular Gregorian calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, to calculate the year-to-date sales total with a DAX formula, use the built-in function called TOTALYTD. From this example, easily copy and paste the code and adjust it to the data analysis and reporting requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 ez-toc-wrap-center counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/expert-only.com\/en\/power-bi\/calculate-ytd-value-in-power-bi\/#1-guide-to-create-a-ytd-value-with-power-bi-desktop\" >1.

Use the REMOVEFILTERS function to filter Year-To-Date results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The REMOVEFILTERS function in DAX is used to clear filters that might be applied to a table or column, essentially <strong>restoring the original, unfiltered data set for a specific calculation<\/strong>. When used with time-intelligence functions like TOTALYTD, not employing REMOVEFILTERS can lead to incorrect results. This is <strong>because the TOTALYTD function computes the cumulative total from the start of the year to the current period<\/strong>, but if filters are applied, it might not consider the entire range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if a filter restricts data to a specific month, without REMOVEFILTERS, TOTALYTD would calculate the year-to-date total just for that month, overlooking previous months. By using REMOVEFILTERS, you ensure that the cumulative calculation encompasses the whole year&#8217;s data, regardless of any filters applied elsewhere in your report or visualization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion-on-ytd-calculations-with-power-bi\">Conclusion on YTD calculations with Power BI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That is all for this short tutorial on how to calculate the YTD value in Power BI using built-in DAX functions in a simple formula.

It&#8217;s commonly used in finance to assess sales or revenue from the start of the year to the present day. The YTD metric often employs a fiscal calendar tailored to a business&#8217;s specific needs, like tax or budgeting timelines.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1656586771765\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What&#8217;s the relation between YTD and YTG values?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">YTD and YTG are both cumulative time calculations, but they represent different periods of time. YTD (Year-To-Date) covers a company&#8217;s performance from the year&#8217;s start to now. It tracks progress and informs decisions. YTG (Year-To-Go) projects performance from now to year&#8217;s end, aiding in forecasting.
