Hi @MSuser5 ,

Follow these steps:

1-Create a calculated column as:

YearMonth = CONVERT(FORMAT(DateTable[Date],"YYYYMM"),INTEGER)

2-Create another calculated column as:

YearMonthOrder = RANKX (

    DateTable,

    DateTable[YearMonth],

    ,

    ASC,

    DENSE

)

3-CurrentMonth Measure is as below:

CurrentMonth =
CALCULATE (
    MIN ( DateTable[MonthName] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( DateTable ),
        DateTable[YearMonthOrder] = MAX ( DateTable[YearMonthOrder] )
    )
)

4-PrevMonth Measure is:

PrevMonth =
CALCULATE (
    MIN ( DateTable[MonthName] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( DateTable ),
        DateTable[YearMonthOrder]
            = MAX ( DateTable[YearMonthOrder] ) - 1
    )
)
