Helper VGet same month, previous year data in new column
paris , you can use time intelligence and date table. example
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date])) last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH))) Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Appreciate your Kudos.
Community SupportHi paris ,
You could create a YM column at first.
YM =
YEAR('Table'[Date])*100+MONTH('Table'[Date])Then use EARLIER() function to get results.
Previous =
CALCULATE (
FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[Actual], 1 ),
FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[YM] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[YM] ) - 100 )
)Here is my test file for your reference.
