Hi @NQT1711 

 

Please try the following Dax:

Current Month Sales =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Northwind Traders'[Total_sale] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Northwind Traders' ),
        MONTH ( 'Northwind Traders'[Date] )
            = MONTH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Northwind Traders'[Date] ) )
    )
)
Last Month Sales = 
VAR current_month =
    MONTH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Northwind Traders'[Date] ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Northwind Traders'[Total_sale] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Northwind Traders' ),
            MONTH ( 'Northwind Traders'[Date] ) = current_month - 1
        )
    )
