MTD without using a date table
When creating smaller reports; I add year and month columns to the existing dataset according to whatever the "DATE" field is.
Ex:
DATE YEAR MONTH
1/2/2017 2017 1
1/3/2017 2017 1
3/5/2016 2016 3
6/8/2016 2016 6
7/28/2016 2016 7
7/25/2016 2016 7
7/25/2017 2016 7
I am creating visualizations, and I want them to only show MTD. ( So the 7/28/2016 data will not be on the visual )
How do I do this?
If you can work with Current Week or Prevoius Weeks, this might work...
I've added 2 calculated columns and 1 measure to your data to accomplish (by week) your desired filtering. WeekNum will return a number 1-52 of the week from your date. Using it again with TODAY() returns today's weekNum. The Calculated Column is then used in a filter to only show values with WEEKNUM less than or equal to TODAY()'s weekNum.
Measure:
TodaysWeek = WEEKNUM(TODAY())
Cal. Colmuns:
Week = WEEKNUM(Table1[DATE ])
Display = IF(Table1[Week] <= [TodaysWeek],1,0)
*** If you don't want current week, only previous weeks, change <= to < ***
