Calculate MTD Values from two disconnected Tables.

Hi Everyone,
I have a budget table, which is having total budget of the month on last day of month.

Like-

and another table is Date Table, and I want to allocate same value for all date of the month like MTD.
I tried with TREATAS Dax funtion but result is not what I needed,

M_BUDGET_MTD_SALES_Test = 
VAR CurrentDate = MAX(DIM_DATE[DATE]) 
VAR Month_start = DATE(YEAR(CurrentDate), MONTH(CurrentDate), 1) 
VAR Month_end = EOMONTH(CurrentDate, 0) 
VAR TotalMonthBudget = 
TOTALMTD(CALCULATE(
SUM(BUDGET_FORECAST[BUDGET]), 
TREATAS(
VALUES(DIM_DATE[DATE]), 
BUDGET_FORECAST[MONTH] 
)
), DIM_DATE[DATE])

RETURN
TotalMonthBudget

Result -

I want the same total for each date.

Thanks in advance.

Deepak

DeepakSharma_01 Hi!

You need a measure that assigns the same total monthly budget to each day of that month. You can achieve this with the following approach:

M_BUDGET_MTD_SALES_Test =
VAR CurrentDate = MAX(DIM_DATE[DATE])
VAR MonthStart = DATE(YEAR(CurrentDate), MONTH(CurrentDate), 1)
VAR MonthEnd = EOMONTH(CurrentDate, 0)

VAR TotalMonthBudget =
CALCULATE(
SUM(BUDGET_FORECAST[BUDGET]),
BUDGET_FORECAST[MONTH] = MonthEnd
)

RETURN
TotalMonthBudget

Hi DeepakSharma_01 ,

Your solution is great, BeaBF . It worked like a charm! Here I have another idea in mind, and I would like to share it for reference.

Your requirement is to calculate the budgeted values assigned on a monthly basis (MTD) and assign the same values for each day in the date table, right?

Here is my test data:

MONTH	BUDGET
2025-01-31	3000
2025-02-28	2000
2025-03-31	1000
2025-04-30	5000

I created a date table:

Modify your measure as follows.

M_BUDGET_MTD_SALES_Test = VAR CurrentDate = MAX(DIM_DATE[DATE]) VAR Month_start = DATE(YEAR(CurrentDate), MONTH(CurrentDate), 1) VAR Month_end = EOMONTH(CurrentDate, 0) VAR TotalMonthBudget = CALCULATE( SUM(BUDGET_FORECAST[BUDGET]), FILTER( BUDGET_FORECAST, BUDGET_FORECAST[MONTH] = EOMONTH(CurrentDate, 0) ) ) RETURN IF( CurrentDate >= Month_start && CurrentDate <= Month_end, TotalMonthBudget, BLANK() )

The final page visualization is shown below:

Hi Anonymous & BeaBF ,
I tried solution of yours but getting random values in cell but total is correct, It is happing because of having indirect relationship between date table & budget table. Is there any way to temporarily ignore existing relationship.

Hi DeepakSharma_01 ,

In the solution I originally provided, there was no relationship between the date table and the budget table.

To reproduce your problem I created a relationship between the two tables.

The relationship between two tables can be ignored by using the REMOVEFILTERS function.

The modified syntax is as follows:

M_BUDGET_MTD_SALES_Test = VAR CurrentDate = MAX(DIM_DATE[DATE]) VAR Month_start = DATE(YEAR(CurrentDate), MONTH(CurrentDate), 1) VAR Month_end = EOMONTH(CurrentDate, 0) VAR TotalMonthBudget = CALCULATE( SUM(BUDGET_FORECAST[BUDGET]), REMOVEFILTERS(DIM_DATE), BUDGET_FORECAST[MONTH] = EOMONTH(CurrentDate, 0) ) RETURN IF( CurrentDate >= Month_start && CurrentDate <= Month_end, TotalMonthBudget, BLANK() )
