    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

    (1)My test data is the same as yours.

    (2) We can create a measure. 

    # of Hires Previous Month = 
var _pre=MONTH(EOMONTH(MAX('DateTable'[Date]),-1))
return CALCULATE([# of Hires],FILTER(ALL('DateTable'),MONTH('DateTable'[Date])=_pre))

    (3) Then the result is as follows.

    Best Regards,

    Neeko Tang
