TotalMTD

Hi Guys,

I am having a strange behavior with TOTALMTD function. If I use date from calendar table it displays results on charts but not on card but If I use te column date from the same table the opposite happens. See the pictures below

This is with the date column [datecreatedon] from the same table notice the card at the right with 7935

This one uses date from calendar table.

Use the date from calendar or Date table along with a month slicer..

I believe the card doesn't know which month to display..

Hi VasTg ,

Thanks for your response. I worked around this issue using both measures one on each visualization. I am looking for an answer on why is this happening both ways (Card and Charts are affected depending on the table I use for date). I dont think the card doesnt know which month to display since is a MTD measure and it displays just fine with the date from the same table.

Regards

Reynaldo
