    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    I have no problem testing this formula on my side. You can check if the columns of data involved in the formula have changed.

    Sample data:

    Column = Calculate (Sum ( 'Table'[Volume]),
        Filter('Table',
                    Month ('Table'[Date]) = Month(Earlier ('Table'[Date] ))))

    There are other ways you can try.

    Column 2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Volume]),
                     FILTER(ALL('Table'),
                            [Date].[Month]=EARLIER('Table'[Date].[Month])))
    Month = MONTH([Date])
    Column 4 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Volume]),
                    FILTER(ALL('Table'),
                           [Month]=EARLIER('Table'[Month])))
