Calculate Function with DATEADD and Filter not working

I have the code for current month, which works well for me. However if I check the DATEADD to -1, the current month row data doesn't show the previous month value in the table visual. Any idea why?

 

 

CurrM = CALCULATE(
    SUM('CADUSD'[Balance]),
    FILTER(
        'CADUSD', 'CADUSD'[Data Type] <> "Plan"
    ),
    DATEADD(
        Calendar[Date], 0, MONTH
    )
)


PrevM = CALCULATE(
    SUM('CADUSD'[Balance]),
    FILTER(
        'CADUSD', 'CADUSD'[Data Type] <> "Plan"
    ),
    DATEADD(
        Calendar[Date], -1, MONTH
    )
)

See my example attached on how to set up the measures, you can adjust as needed:

I used a similar structure of yours but changed my totals just to serve as an example.

You are filtering your data for February so in the filter context there's nothing to be shown for January but it appears since you included a Previous Month value as well. For Current Month you should remove the DateAdd portion of the measure, it is not needed.

if I remove the months filter, the CurrM column now has more than 1 values. I should expect CurrM to only show only the february number when i have DATEADD, 0, MONTH (see image attached)

not sure why i did the same in my model and it wouldn't work. the result is the same as per my original screenshot.

Why would you need the Data Type column filter on the measure but then add it to the visual?
