ssas dax tabular MTD last child

hello

need help with mtd

factTable[move_usd]

dimDate[DateID]

 

move_total:=CALCULATE(sum(factTable[move_usd]),DATESMTD(dimDate[DateID]))

it works, but my calendar is greater than today and fact data is before today

so it calculates unit EOF calendar

 

i added:

move_total_2:=IF(lastdate(dimDate[DateID]) >= Today(), Blank()
,CALCULATE(sum(factTable[move_usd]),DATESMTD('dimDate'[DateID])))

 

but if month is not closed on month/year level it shows empty value

 

how to:

1. calculate MTD

2. until today

3. with last child(not greater than yeasterday) on month/year level

 

before i used MDX,'mosha formula' , now i'm re-writing on tabular

in mdx i used MTD + scope

how i can handle it in dax?

 

thank you.

Have you considered using DATESMTD ? 

oh, sorry i made a mistake in my request

yes of course i'm using DATESMTD (in original request i wrote YTD)

 

but the question is about next

on screenshot two measures:

 

MTD_v2:=
CALCULATE(
sum(fact_Table[move_usd]),
DATESMTD('dim_Date'[DateID]))

 

 

MTD_v1:=
IF(
ISINSCOPE(dim_Time[DateID]),
if(
MAX(dim_Time[DateID]) >= Today(),
Blank(),
MTD_v2
)
, inv_mtd)



so the issue is 

1.

for mtd_v1 - on february 2023 level and on 1Q and 2023 - empty, but 26th feb(lastFactDate) is needed

so i need value from last fact date on month,q, year level

2.

fir mtd_v2 - values should be empty for days after 26th feb
