Filter by Current Month and Last Month using Calculated Column

Hi Folks,   This has been a headscratacher for me. Basically I am trying to get a frequency count of a particular column from another table but only from within a particular month (kind of dynamic)...

    Hello CG12 

    Your best bet in the time intelligent function DATESINPERIOD.  You will need a date table but then your calculation is just something like:

    3 MO Prospect = 
    VAR EndingDate = MAX ( Dates[Date] )
    RETURN 
    CALCULATE(
        [Prospect],
        DATESINPERIOD(Dates[Date],EndingDate,-3,MONTH)
    )


    Could you maybe share a sample of your data model if the above doesn't work for you?
