Anonymous , When use time intellignece
Mark Calendar/date table as Date table
USe Calendar/date table in visual, filter/sclier and meausre
Join should 1-M single directional with fact
ObsMTD = CALCULATE(SUM(BBS_Data[SimpleCount]),DATESMTD(Calendar[Date]))
So not use .date.
Also, have explicit column in the calendar table to filter and use in visual
Calendar = Addcolumns(calendar(date(2012,01,01), date(2024,12,31) ), "Month no" , month([date])
, "Year", year([date])
, "Month Year", format([date],"mmm-yyyy")
, "Month year sort", year([date])*100 + month([date])
, "Qtr Year", format([date],"yyyy-\QQ")
, "Qtr", quarter([date])
, "Month",FORMAT([Date],"mmmm")
, "Month sort", month([DAte])
, "FY Year", if( Month(([DAte])) <7 , year(([DAte]))-1 ,year(([DAte])))
, "Is Today" ,if([Date]=TODAY(),"Today",[Date]&"")
,"Day of Year" , datediff(date(year([DAte]),1,1), [Date], day)+1
, "Month Type", Switch( True(),
eomonth([Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),-1),"Last Month" ,
eomonth([Date],0)= eomonth(Today(),0),"This Month" ,
Format([Date],"MMM-YYYY") )
,"Year Type" , Switch( True(),
year([Date])= year(Today()),"This Year" ,
year([Date])= year(Today())-1,"Last Year" ,
Format([Date],"YYYY")
)

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.
amitchandak, thank you for the guidance. I had to swap laptops and lost all of my previous data, I took your Date table solution and applied it when rebuilding and the graphs are working as expected now, greatly appreciate the help, this has unloacked answers to a number of questions I have been struggling with.
