Ideas for calculating MTD, QTD, YTD, PY etc for lot of columns (which are numbers)

Hello there, I have this sample data set, I need to create Time intelligence measures for EBIT, Discretionary Trade Spent, Non-discretionary trade spent, Sales etc... When I try using TI method using Tabular editor and creating new tables for measures and selected measures, I am getting same results for all the columns (example: QTD, MTD, YTD, everything comes up as same values ) , I need some suggestions to any alternate methods that I can use or any suggestions on how to resolve this problem please.

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
