    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    According to your description,I think you can create a measure or column to calculate the desired result.

    Like this:

    Column = var month1=MONTH(EDATE(TODAY(),-1))
var month2=MONTH('Table'[date])
return IF(month1=month2,"True","False")
    Measure = var month1=MONTH(EDATE(TODAY(),-1))
var month2=MONTH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[date]))
return IF(month1=month2,"True","False")

    If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

     

    Best Regards
