CumulativeYTD(Input: ITimeSeries;
[Method: MsCumulativeMethodType = 5;]
[Period: IMsPeriod = Null;]
[IgnoreMissing: Boolean = False;]): Variant;
Input. Output variable.
Method. Cumulative method.
Period. Period, at which the method is calculated
IgnoreMissing. Indicates whether empty values are ignored.
The CumulativeYTD method transforms variable by applying the specified cumulative method to the start of the year.
Features of setting parameters:
Period. If the parameter is set to Null, the method is calculated at the entire time period.
IgnoreMissing. Available values of the parameter:
True. Calculation does not take into account empty values.
False. Calculation takes into account empty values.
Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the MS identifier. This container includes a model with the MODEL_D identifier that is calculated by the determinate equation method and contains at least one factor.
Add links to the Metabase and Ms system assemblies.

After executing the example the model will transform variable using the Maximum cumulative method for the start of the year without taking into account missing data for the period from 2000 to 2015.
Expression 1:
CumulativeYTD({Brazil|BCA[t]},MsCumulativeMethodType.Average, SetPeriod("01.01.2000", "01.01.2015"))
Result: accumulated average for the start of the year for the period from 2000 to 2015 will be calculated for the Brazil|BCA factor.
Use: it can be used in formulas of cross functional expression editor in any platform tool where it is available.
Expression 2:
CumulativeYTD(X1,MsCumulativeMethodType.Sum)
Result: accumulated sum will be calculated for the X1 factor to the start of the year at the entire time period.
Use: it can be used in model formulas of modeling container based on variables.
