How to use DATESYTD to calculate Year to Date?

Year to date in Power BI is one of the most common and useful formulas. This way you can plot cumulative data across a year. In using the DATESYTD function you can also change the year end date so you can tally that up with your financial year. Should you want to get straight to the calculation then fast forward to timestamp 5:37.

This tutorial will also show you how to create a measures table and how to place the measures you create into that table. As it's all too easy to create a measure in the wrong table.
