I have a logical column in my rpd that should holds the YTD value. When i display this column in my report, it shows the value from the previous years to date, while I only require only the value from the beginning of the year specified. E.g. I have data from 2015 to date, and i want YTD. The value provided is a consolidation of 2015 Jan and Feb, 2016 Jan and Feb, 2017 Jan and Feb and 2015 Jan and Feb. The expression on my logical column is ToDate(measure,level)

Product version: OBIEE 12.2.1.1.0

    Please try with below.

    TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1*(DAYOFYEAR(CURRENT_DATE )-1) , CURRENT_DATE )

    @3146354 that's not a year-to-date ("YTD") calculation...that's a TIMESTAMPADD

    We will probably never see @3236706 again ...

    But it sounds like a badly configured time hierarchy with issues in the keys and that's why the YTD functions can't make a difference between months of different years.
