Hi,

RETURN

FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Date Created]
>= DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ), MONTH ( TODAY () ) - a, 1 ) - 1
)
),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Days Open] ),
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Date Created]
>= DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1, MONTH ( TODAY () ) - a + 12, 1 ) - 1
)
)
)When select last 3 months or last 4 months, the result shows:
