Hi @Anonymous 

Please use relative slicer as a workaround.

You could try the following method if you just want to create two buttons that act as a slicer.

@Anonymous , so if looking for a slicer that you select July in one and another slicer will have jun. That is not possible.

If you looking for two independent slicers for comparison refer to this. ( use month in place of date range)

In case you want MTD and LMTD, then use time intelligence. tat you can do with one slicer

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))

Power BI — MTD Questions — Time Intelligence 3–5

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 :
