Hi, 

Could you possibly use measure branching for this? 
I.e Calc Last Month MTDAct = CALCULATE([MtdAct], PREVIOUSMONTH('Date'[Date]))

PREVIOUSMONTH : Returns a table that contains a column of all dates from the previous month, based on the first date in the Dates column, in the current context. 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/previousmonth-function-dax
So your measure for this month is called in and then the filter is MTD but previous month.

Let me know if this works? Hope its helpful 🙂
