    Anonymous I would recommend using EOMONTH. You can use a pattern such as:

    Measure =
  VAR __Today = TODAY()
  VAR __Max = EOMONTH( __Today, -6 )
  VAR __Min = DATE( YEAR( __EOM6 ), MONTH( __EOM6 ), 1 )
  VAR __Table = FILTER( ALL( 'Sales Data' ), [Date] >= __Min && [Date] <= __Max )
  VAR __Result = SUMX( __Table, [sales price] )
RETURN
  __Result

    Or do you not have a Date column?

I just figured it out, but still need help with a solution. 

6month Prior = CALCULATE(SUM('Sales Data'[sales_price]),  FILTER('Sales Data','Sales Data'[Month Match] = true && 'Sales Data'[Month if Matching] = [Current Month]-6))/ CALCULATE([# of WorkDays], FILTER('Date Key', 'Date Key'[Month] = [Current Month] -6))

it works except for 6+ months prior because we are in June (month 6) -6 is 0. But I need to now go back to 12/2023. Any ideas are appreciated!!
