Hi,

MTD - means Month To Date - for today the date range is 1-Apr-2014 to 16-Apr-2014

YTD - means Year To Date - for today the date range is 1-Jan-2014 to 16-Apr-2014

Set Analysis expressions are

MTD:

=Sum({<DateDimensionName={'>=$(=MonthStart(Today()))<=$(=Today())'}>} MeasureName)

YTD:

=Sum({<DateDimensionName={'>=$(=YearStart(Today()))<=$(=Today())'}>} MeasureName)

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.

Month-TO-Date(MTD)

In this report data is shown for till date of the current month, for the same date of the previous month, and the same date of the last year of same month.

For Eg : - Today is Mar,26 - so data is shown for Mar,2013(Till 26) , Feb,2013(till 26), Mar,2012(till 26)

Year - To-Date(YTD)

In this report data is shown from the begining of the month to the till date of current month and same for the previous months.

For Eg:- Today is Mar,26 - so data is shown from Jan,2013 to Mar,2013(Till 26) and From Jan,2012 to Mar,2012(Till 26).

YTD (Year To Date):

Year To date means starting from the start of the year till date.

Like Today is 16-Apr-2014 So it will consider from 1-Jan-2014 till 16-Apr-2014.

MTD (Month To Date):

Month To date means starting from the start of the month till date.

MTD- Month To Date

It is the analysis till the date for a particular month that is selected for current year and last year or the year selected and its previous year. If you have provided a date filter also so till that date it will calculate. For ex--

You have selected Month as April and year as 2014, as today is 16, April, so from 1, Apr 2014 - 16, Apr 2014 is compared with 1, Apr 2013 - 16, Apr 2013.

YTD- Year To Date
