Hi,

 

Apologies for the delay in responding. Filter was the solution, just wasnt sure how to use it.

 

This was my solution for the sales over 12 months, I had a slicer to select the end period

 

var curDateStr = CALCULATE ( MIN ( Dates2[FilterDate] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Dates2, Dates2[FilterDate] ) )
var curDate = DATE(LEFT(curDateStr,4),VALUE(MID(curDateStr,6,2)),RIGHT(curDateStr,1))
VAR DateAddAlternative = EDATE(curDate,-MonthsToLookBack)
return
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'EOM_STK'[SOH] ), FILTER(EOM_STK,
                                                    EOM_STK[perioddate]=curDate
))
