Last date of the previous month show on a matrix table

Good day, 

 

I am connected through Direct Query and trying to calculate the last date of the previous month for my beginning inventory.  The goal was to get all the tickets open at a specific point in time and the close date is NULL and have it viewed on a matrix table. Like this one below. 

 

Month - Year Begin Inventory #  MTD Inventory #
Jan - 2021?267
Feb - 2021?363
March - 2021?58

 

The sample data set is here 

 

The logic is: 

As of Jan 1st 2021.

Count of all tickets with the status of Open

And the placement date is <=12-31-2020

And the close date is NULL

 

As of Feb 1st 2021.

Count of all tickets with the status of Open

And the placement date is <=01-31-2021

And the close date is NULL

 

As of March 1st 2021.

Count of all tickets with the status of Open

And the placement date is <=02-28-2021

And the close date is NULL

 

Tried to use multiple measurements but it only shows MTD. 

I appreciate all the help
