Mtd (MDX)

Returns a set of sibling members from the same level as a given member, starting with the first sibling and ending with the given member, as constrained by the Year level in the Time dimension.

Syntax

Mtd( [ Member_Expression ] )

Arguments

• Member_Expression
  A valid Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression that returns a member.

Remarks

If a member expression is not specified, the default is Time.CurrentMember.

The Mtd function is a shortcut function for the PeriodsToDate function at the month level. That is, Mtd(Member_Expression) is equivalent to PeriodsToDate(Month,Member_Expression).
