    Anonymous , If you want to select a month and want to show more than that on the axis/row, the slicer needs to be on an independent date table

     

    //Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
    new measure =
    var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date])
    var _min = eomonth(_max, -6) +1
    return
    calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))

HI amitchandak 
The problem is that in the same report I have to display different data (measures) for the selected months, for previous month and the last 6 months excluding the selected one, in order to compare the data. So the slicer should be the one from DimDate table.
