MTD & Prev Month MTD Calculations

I created a column for MTD with

MTD= TOTALMTD(sum(TRANSACTIONS[AMOUNT]), YEAR_MONTH_DIMENSION_TAB[Date]). It shows only if I selected current month in the filter.

 

How to show the data without selecting the month as a Card in the report??

Hey @Kpower,

 

Try this as a new measure:

Prev MTD = CALCULATE(sum(TRANSACTIONS[NET_AMOUNT]), PREVIOUSMONTH(DATESMTD(TRANSACTIONS[DATE__MODIFIED])))

MTD NetAmount = CALCULATE(sum(TRANSACTIONS[NET_AMOUNT]), DATESMTD(TRANSACTIONS[DATE_MODIFIED])) when I used the date column from same Fact table I'm getting data without selecting any month in the slicer.

 

But for Previous MTD Im getting blank on Card. I used

Prev MTD = CALCULATE(sum(TRANSACTIONS[NET_AMOUNT]), PREVIOUSMONTH(TRANSACTIONS[DATE__MODIFIED]))

 

Can you help me to get previous month data

I have sample file which I can send to you which calculated prev mtd, qtd, ytd. Send me your email in private message in case you are intereste. Thanks

hi 

i tried this solution and get this error message, really struggling with MTD and YTDmtd.JPG

Hi,

Check the format of the column that you are referring the DATESMTD function.  It is probably a text column.  Change the format to Date.
