DAX for Power BI videos | DAX for Power BI Part 6.3 - Calculating Running Total or To-Date Values
Posted by Andrew Gould on 17 January 2022
This video explains how to use a range of DAX Time Intelligence functions to calculate running totals and to-date values in your measures. You'll learn how to use the FirstDate and LastDate functions to calculate the start and end of intervals and combine these with the DatesBetween function. You'll see how to use the StartOfYear and EndOfYear functions, as well as the DatesYTD, DatesQTD and TotalYTD functions. Finally, you'll learn how to set the year end date to a different date than December 31st for a range of time intelligence functions.
