Help with YTD expressions

[Cameron94]

Hi All,

I am looking for some help regarding YTD Calculations. 

I have set YTD but it changes with YEAR dimension changes. Is there some way to avoid this and keep the dimension from impacting it? This is my expression: 

sum({<Month = {">$=(Max(Date),0,1))<=$(=Max(Date))"}>}$(vSelected_Portal_Measure))

I am also looking to find a way to type expression for YTD but last year not this year. 

Any help would be appreciated.

you want to exclude year selection?

sum({<Year=,Month = {">$=(Max(Date),0,1))<=$(=Max(Date))"}>}$(vSelected_Portal_Measure))

Your expression doesn't make any sense to me

Comparing Max(Date) against  Month field!

sum({<Month = {">$=(Max(Date),0,1))<=$(=Max(Date))"}>}$(vSelected_Portal_Measure))

Change to using your Datefield instead and Ignore Year selections in Max(Date) as well

As below

=sum({<Year=,Datefield= {">$(=YearStart(Max({<Year=>}Datefield)))<=$(=Date(Max({<Year=>}Datefield)))"}>}$(vSelected_Portal_Measure))

I want to ignore Year selection but I don't want all of the data. What I'm looking for is for the year to stay at 2023. So it will show Jan 1st up until present date. 

I'm quite new to Qlik so don't understand really how all of the language should be used etc. With the above expression it gives me a very large figure, I would imagine it is then showing all years and isn't defined to a singular one.

Hi sorry if this sounds silly but regarding date field im not too familiar with it, could you give me an example of how it should be used? Where the 'datefield' is 

Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks for you reply thus far
