Hi, actually i have calendar date column . so i have solved this without writing any measure using PBI only. 

i have dragged calendar date column in filters on page then , in last 6 month i have selected and then i selected calendar months means only completed months. so it will give only last six months of of fiscal month column even if the year changes later.

Hi @Anonymous,

Not sure how your model looks like. If you don’t have a calendar table, you may try this solution.

Create a Measure as follows. It will help you filter out the last six months.

LastSixMonths =
VAR year_ =
    2000 + LEFT ( RIGHT ( MAX ( 'Fiscal Month'[fiscal month] ), 5 ), 2 )
VAR month_ =
    RIGHT ( MAX ( 'Fiscal Month'[fiscal month] ), 3 )
VAR month_no =
    SWITCH (
        month_,
        "Jan", 1,
        "Feb", 2,
        "Mar", 3,
        "Apr", 4,
        "May", 5,
        "Jun", 6,
        "Jul", 7,
        "Aug", 8,
        "Sep", 9,
        "Oct", 10,
        "Nov", 11,
        "Dec", 12
    )
VAR fiscalDate =
    DATE ( year_, month_no, 1 )
VAR firstDay =
    DATE ( year_, month_no, 1 )
VAR currentTime =
    TODAY ()
VAR currentYear =
    YEAR ( currentTime )
VAR currentMonth =
    MONTH ( currentTime )
VAR lastSixMonOfCur = 12 - ( 6 - currentMonth )
VAR MinDate =
    IF (
        lastSixMonOfCur >= 6,
        DATE ( currentYear - 1, lastSixMonOfCur, 1 ),
        DATE ( currentYear, lastSixMonOfCur, 1 )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        fiscalDate >= MinDate
            && fiscalDate < DATE ( currentYear, currentMonth, 1 ),
        1,
        0
    )

After that, you could calculated based on it or just filter visual data by dragging it to Filters pane.

Also, attached the pbix file as reference.
