MTD Measure to current date
Please i need some help. I am trying to create a MTD measure in my report.
I am extremely new with DAX and power bi.
I was thinking that i was doing it correctly, however, i have some stores that are no longer active on November but stil shows MTD figure, i dont know why :(
MTD Sales = TOTALMTD(sum(CVR[Functional Sale Value]) , CVR[Full Date]) have also tried using my DateDim table
MTD Sales = TOTALMTD(sum(CVR[Functional Sales Value]), DateDim[Date]).
I am close to being so frustrated about this :(
Thank you in advance.

Sachet_716,
You would need to add Month field or Date field to your visual. For more details about how TOTALMTD function works, please review this article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee634560.aspx.

Based on your requirements it looks like you have chose the correct function so you are heading in the right direction ... https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee634560.aspx.
As a next step please show the relationship within a screen shot of the relationship diagram between your CVR measure / fact table and your DateDim dimension.

Hello Kieran,
Here is my table. I am expecting that the 2 stores which i highlighted will appear since i need MTD data, without doing any filters. However, whenever i choose 'November' in my slicer, it gives me the correct data.
I might be doing it wrong?
Thank you.
