@jsjcjsjc , In that case, you can use below measure that you can use as a filter.

Measure =
VAR _date =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Sheet1[date range] ), ALL ( Sheet1[date range] ) )
RETURN
    IF ( MAX ( Sheet1[date range] ) <= EOMONTH ( _date, -1 ), 1, 0 )

 

Output ;-

Hi @jsjcjsjc , I am afraid if I am missing something. However, if you have not added any explicit filter on the slicer it will take all the available data from the dataset that includes the latest dates.

yes, you are right. I missed  some  infomarion.

I hope to keep the date is The last day of the previous month of the new date in the database.
