MTD without using the MTD function

问题

This is our current MTD calculation:

  MEMBER [Time Calculations].[Time Calculations].[Calculate MTD] AS 
    Sum
    (
      MTD([Date].[Date - Calendar Month].CurrentMember)
     ,[Time Calculations].[Time Calculations].[Current Value]
    )

I've seen somewhere along the way a MTD calculation that uses the range operator :. The following will be a sum from the start of time:

  MEMBER [Time Calculations].[Time Calculations].[Calculate MTD] AS 
    Sum
    (
      null: [Date].[Date - Calendar Month].CurrentMember
     ,[Time Calculations].[Time Calculations].[Current Value]
    ) 

Can anyone remember how to adjust the above so that it is a MTD calculation?

If [Date - Calendar Month] is similar to Calendar hierarchy of Adventure Works, following might work for you:

  MEMBER [Time Calculations].[Time Calculations].[Calculate MTD] AS 
    Sum
    (
      [Date].[Date - Calendar Month].CurrentMember.firstsibling
       : 
      [Date].[Date - Calendar Month].CurrentMember
     ,[Time Calculations].[Time Calculations].[Current Value]
    )
