Dynamic Previous Months Data

Hi All,

I have a Separate date table in power BI with name "Date", I have columns Date, Year, Month , quarter in that table
I have another table Content
I have made relation of date table Date column and Content table Date column, Content doesn't have quarter year and Month separate columns, just date column 
I want to show last two months Likes which column name is Content Likes count if i select particular Month

For example If i select March 2022 it must show count of Likes for February and Likes count of Jan separately and it must also show avg percentage difference
Currently I am just filtering for last two month, just last two months

But it should be now like if I click on any years any month , it must show last two months likes count to that selected month

please h

    1 Month Ago Measure = 
      VAR __Date = MAX( 'Dates'[Date] )
      VAR __MaxDate = EOMONTH( __Date, -1 )
      VAR __MinDate = DATE( YEAR( __MaxDate ), MONTH( __MaxDate ), 1 )
      VAR __Result = CALULATE( [Some Measure], 'Dates'[Date] >= __MinDate && 'Dates[Date] <= __MaxDate )
    RETURN
      __Result

    Also, this may help as well:
