Hi @admin11  , 

 

You could  change YEAR(TODAY()) to the value of the slicer,Here can use MAX() ,as follows:

_Month last =
FORMAT (
    DATE ( MAX ( 'Date'[YEAR2] ), MONTH ( TODAY () ) - 1, DAY ( TODAY () ) ),
    "mmm-yyyy")

The final output is shown below:

Try

Month Last =

FORMAT(
    DATE(
        YEAR( SELECTEDVALUE(DATE[YEAR])),
        MONTH(TODAY())-1,
        DAY(TODAY()))
    ,
    "mmm-yyyy"
)
