ShaikRafi — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 11:53:04 GMT

I am writing dax to find the previous month MTD based on the filter selected in the date

example

if I select date Aug 20 2021 in the excel data filter I need mtd for last month(jul1 2021 to jul20 2021)

I tried a few dax but was unable to get (i am get data correct if all selected all dates)
pmtd = TOTALMTD(SUM(Bets[TURNOVER_SPORTS]),PREVIOUSMONTH('Date'[calendar_date]))

PMTD2 = CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Bets'[TURNOVER_SPORTS] ),
DATEADD (
FILTER ( DATESMTD ( 'Date'[Date] ), 'Date'[Date] <=MAX('Date'[Date])),
-1,
MONTH
)
)

Can you please help to get this

Hi,

Obviously this could be improved upon by incorporating Time Intelligence functions, though as a start this should work:

PMTD = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Bets'[TURNOVER_SPORTS] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Date' ), 'Date'[Date] >= EOMONTH ( MIN ( 'Date'[Date] ), -2 ) + 1 && 'Date'[Date] <= EDATE ( MIN ( 'Date'[Date] ), -1 ) ) )
