3664833 - YTD measure discrepancy in SAP.GETDATA formula in SAP Analytics Cloud, add-in for Microsoft Office

Symptom

  • A calculated measure is created in the SAC model to display the YTD data. Its formula is similar as ITERATE(IF([d/Date].[p/MONTHDESC]="",0 ,PRIOR() )+[Amount] ,[Amount],[d/Date].[p/CALMONTH] ) 
  • The YTD measure in an SAC Add-in Excel workbook is not displaying the total YTD values but instead shows the monthly amount.
  • The YTD value retrieved using the SAP.GETDATA formula does not match the expected total YTD value.
  • The issue is inconsistent, with the YTD formula working correctly in some cases but failing in others.
  • The issue is observed in both the SAC Add-in workbook and SAC story when the table filter is set to a specific month (e.g., 202502).
  • The issue does not happen in the SAC Add-in workbook and SAC story when the table filter is set to the whole year (e.g., 2025).
