i have a table 

SELECT * from Personal.fact_AIS_Specific   ;    in this i have month column    like     (YY-MMM) format

Month ,Seats,Region

20-Mat,100,EMEA

20-Apr,200,APJ

i want to  get the   current month count  of  seats  by region     and previous month count of seats by region .

@Anonymous , my advice would be to make it date or bring date

(YY-MMM)

date = [Month] & "-01" // Change datatype to date. It should work

Time intelligence and date calendar would do rest

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

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 :
