Hi all,#MTD
I'm trying to calculate a measure of MTD using the following DAX. The only problem I have is when trying to visualize if one person doesn't have a date for the current month it will calculate the previous month. How can I make it show zero if the is no date for this month. TIA.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @cpereyra
You can add a VAR to get the month of TODAY() and add that as a filter to your CALCULATE.
Total MTD Funded =
VAR _CurrMonth =
MONTH ( TODAY () )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Merge1[PEC_Work_Load.Total_Loan_amount] ),
DATESMTD ( Merge1[Extra_Fields.Closed Date] ),
MONTH ( Merge1[Extra_Fields.Closed Date] ) = _CurrMonth
)

Works like a charm!
