SELECT top 10 Column1,Column2
FROM Table1
WHERE DATEPART(m, CreateDate) = DATEPART(m, DATEADD(m, -1, getdate()))
AND DATEPART(yyyy, CreateDate) = DATEPART(yyyy, DATEADD(m, -1, getdate()))
Hi @Abreham,
Something like:
Test =
TOPN (
10,
FILTER (
'calendar',
MONTH ( 'calendar'[Date] )
= MONTH ( TODAY () ) - 1
&& YEAR ( 'calendar'[Date] )
= YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1
),
'calendar'[Date]
)Put it in a calculated table. And 'calendar' is just a calendar table: calendar = CALENDAR(DATE(2017,01,01),DATE(2018,12,31) ).

Thanks,

Thank you for replying. It's very close but it has an issue. I have remoed TOP from T/SQL. I just need LastMonth record but it should be Dynamic.
select Column1 from TableName
WHERE DATEPART(m, ColumnFromTable) = DATEPART(m, DATEADD(m, -1, getdate()))
AND DATEPART(yyyy, ColumnFromTable) = DATEPART(yyyy, DATEADD(m, -1, getdate()))
Thanks
The DAX equivalents are:
SELECT top 10 => TOPN
DATEPART => MONTH, YEAR, DAY
DATEADD => DATEADD
getdate => TODAY, NOW, UTCTODAY, UTCNOW
