Last calendar months sale

Hi,

 

I am looking for a way to sum last 3 month sales. The trick is to add up from the first day of the month three years ago to selected day.

Is there a better way to write this measure? it seems not really great (but works).

Last 3 calendar month sale = 
CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Sales[TurnoverinUnit] );
        DATESBETWEEN (
            'Date'[Date];
            STARTOFMONTH(DATEADD( 'Date'[Date]; -3; MONTH ));
            MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
        )
    )

Thanks!

Oh just I thought there will be a better way (e.g. using a prebuilt DAX formula) to manage it.

But if not, I will accept its fate.
