Marco Russo and Alberto Ferrari show off their intelligence:
Time intelligence functions such as month-to-date (MTD), quarter-to-date (QTD), and year-to-date (YTD) in DAX operate relative to the current filter context. Their outcome depends on the filter applied, making them both adaptable for various periods and useful for comparisons. But, if you wish to showcase the most recent data – for the “current” period – there is a complication: without the proper filter, you may not get the data you aim for.
Read on to see what they mean and how you can avoid this issue.
