I think you forgot put your measure definition, there are many ways to do this. Here is one


Var selectedmonth = selectedvalue(Table[MonthNum))
Var prevMonth = selectedmonth - 1
Var last2months =treatas( {prevmonth, selectedmonth}, Table[MonthNum])
Var result = calculate([Measure], keepfilters(last2months))
return result

It works with me , after adding the variable in the beginning 

LastMonthValue = Var selectedmonth = selectedvalue(Table1[Month])

Var prevMonth = selectedmonth - 1

Var last2months =treatas( {prevmonth, selectedmonth}, Table1[Month])

Var result = calculate([Last Month], keepfilters(last2months))

return result


but still didn't show on the line graph
