@PTD

Calculates the period-to-date values of members in the dimension tagged as Time. By default, data is summed unless Accounts are tagged as "First" or "Last".

Syntax

@PTD (timePeriodList)

Parameter	Description
timePeriodList	Range of members from the dimension tagged as Time.

Notes

Financial functions never return a value; rather, they calculate a series of values internally based on the range specified.
You can use the @PTD function only if the outline contains a dimension tagged as Accounts.

Example

In this example, assume that the Year dimension in the Sample Basic database outline contains two additional members, YTD and QTD. Using a calculation script, the YTD and QTD members are calculated as follows:

YTD = @PTD(Jan:May);
QTD = @PTD(Apr:May);

In this example Opening Inventory is tagged with a time balance of First, and Ending Inventory is tagged with a time balance of Last.

This example produces the following report:
