✅ Interviewer: Show total revenue for the current year, updating automatically as time progresses.

🙋‍♂️ Me: No problem — here’s how I handled it in Power BI 👇

Steps I followed:
1. Loaded the sales data into Power BI
2. Created a DAX measure:
YTD Revenue = CALCULATE(
    SUM(Sales[Revenue]),
    YEAR(Sales[Date]) = YEAR(TODAY())
)

(Or use built-in TOTALYTD() if a date table is set up) 
3. Added a KPI or card visual to display the revenue 
4. Set up a date table & marked it as Date Table for accurate time intelligence 
5. Formatted currency and added data labels for clarity

Result: A live Year-to-Date revenue figure — fully automated, no manual updates needed ✅

💡 Power BI Tip: Master time intelligence functions like YTD, MTD, and QTD to build real-world dashboards that impress.
