    Hi @ganenthra94 

    Here is the formula modified for your case. You need also to use the month name in the visual instead of the year (from the pevious date table). However this won't work with my samp[el file as it's data has only monthly ganularity. So please try with your data.

    MTD =
VAR NumOfMonths = -2
VAR ReferenceDate =
    MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR PreviousDates =
    FILTER (
        DATESINPERIOD ( 'PreviousDate'[Date], ReferenceDate, NumOfMonths, MONTH ),
        DAY ( 'PreviousDate'[Date] ) <= DAY ( ReferenceDate )
    )
VAR Result =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Sales'[Salesl] ),
        REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Date' ),
        KEEPFILTERS ( PreviousDates ),
        USERELATIONSHIP ( 'PreviousDate'[Date], 'Date'[Date] )
    )
RETURN
    Result

Hi, how are you?

 

You should create a measure with this formula to see the before value you want:

 

Then, put the columns on a table visual and you gonna have this:

 

Notice I created the slicer visual too.

So, filter the visual according your preference and remove the column "VALUE" if you want:

 

 

I hope it helps you.

 

REGARDS!
