@fab196 , if date is selected then you can use date tbale and time intelligence

 

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))

 

 

or

 

with today

MTD=
var _min = eomonth(today(),-1)+1
var _max = today()
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date] >= _min && 'Table'[Date] <=_max ) )

 

 

with date

 

MTD=

var _max =date(2021,09,01)
var _min = eomonth(_max ),-1)+1
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date] >= _min && 'Table'[Date] <=_max ) )

In order to calculate the days between two dates, you can use Datediff.
