E001J12331/01/2024 
E002J23031/01/2024 
E003J23031/01/2024

Hello @coollehavre , 

 

Please try the below code..

 

job_id_previous_month =
VAR currentEmployee = 'Table'[employee_id]
VAR currentDate = 'Table'[snapshot_date]
RETURN
CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[job_id]),FILTER('Table','Table'[employee_id] = currentEmployee &&

EOMONTH('Table'[snapshot_date], 0) = EOMONTH(currentDate, -1)))
