Previous Team CC =
VAR _currentdate = Data[job effective date]
VAR _currentemp = Data[Emp no]
RETURN
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER (
            Data,
            Data[Emp no] = _currentemp
                && EOMONTH ( Data[job effective date], 0 ) = EOMONTH ( _currentdate, -1 )
        ),
        Data[team]
    )
