Running Total within current month

Question

Hello,I have a Table with Daily Budget Data and Daily Sales Data for every day in the date column. I am trying to create two new columns with a running total in each of them, based on the Daily Budget and Daily Sales Data.&nbsp;But I only want to have the running totals within each month. So for the first in each month I want the running total to start, and then end on the last date in each month.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have tried with making a Measure, but the DAX code only gives me a running total from the beginning of the year up until the end of current month. Being a complete novise on DAX I would appreciate any help.&nbsp;Thank you.

Anonymous , MTD, should do it for you. Use time intelligence and date calendar 
example
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))

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.
