Hello Everyone,
I'm a beginner and struggling to formulate a measure to show a specific month(or last month) in Year-to-date card when I do not select any month on filter bar. I have columns, Month(a text column), YTD_OB_Actual, YTD_OB_Budget, YTD_CB_Actual and YTD_CB_Budget.
Please help me through this, I've spent hours finding the solution.
@Alde , End your calendar on today and use the time intelligence function. Or create based on today
QTD Today=
var _month = mod(month(Today()),3)
var _min = date(year(today()),month(Today()) -1* if(_month=0,3,_month) ,1)
var _day = today()
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <= _day) )
LQTD Today=
var _month = mod(month(Today()),3)
var _min = eomonth(date(year(today()),month(Today()) -1* if(_month=0,3,_month) ,1),-4)+1
var _day = date(year(today()), month(today()) -3 , day(today()))
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <= _day) )
YTD Today=
var _min = date(year(today()),1,1)
var _day = today()
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <= _day) )
LYTD =
var _min = date(year(today())-1,1,1)
var _max = date(year(today())-1,month(today()),day(today()))
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <= _max))
MTD=
var _min = eomonth(today(),-1)+1
var _max = today()
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date] >= _min && 'Table'[Date] <=_max ) )
LMTD =
var _min = eomonth(today(),-2)+1
var _max1 = today()
var _max = date(year(_max1),month(_max1)-1, day(_max1))
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date] >= _min && 'Table'[Date] <=_max ) )
LYMTD =
var _min = eomonth(today(),-12)+1
var _max1 = today()
var _max = date(year(_max1)-1,month(_max1), day(_max1))
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date] >= _min && 'Table'[Date] <=_max ) )
If calendar end of today of month end date
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))

Hi @amitchandak
Thanks for this solution,
but the thing is I'm using the Month column of text, not actually from the calendar.
Can I know how to relate this text Month column to the clender if I have to use month column from the calendar.
Hi @Alde ,
I think you can add Month column in calendar table and then relate the Table[Month] to Calendar[Month].
You can try to create a calendar table by code as below. [MonthShortName] is text format as "Jan" and [MonthName] is text format as January.
Calendar =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDARAUTO (),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"MonthNum", MONTH ( [Date] ),
"MonthShortName", FORMAT ( [Date], "MMM" ),
"MonthName", FORMAT ( [Date], "MMMM" )
)
Best Regards,
