Introduction:

Unless you set up your visualization just right YTD Total, Year over Year Growth and YTD Growth are unavailable:

A search of the Online Help does not produce an article explaining how to set up a visualization so these filters become available. A search of the Knowledge Base produces an article on Table Calculations:

But this only mentions the need for a date field being in the view. It does not go on to mention what else is required. So this TabWiki explains how to make these Quick Table calculations available.

Summary:

YTD and Year over Year Quick Table Calculations become available when:

1. A date field is in the view
2. The date field is discrete
3. The date field is aggregated to less than a year
