Need a measure to calculate previous fiscal periods based on slicer choice

[rmcgrath]

Hello.  I am creating a Balance Sheet.  It requires looking at the previous fiscal period, which needs to be cumulative.  For example, if the user chooses 202403, then the previous period would include:  202402, 202401 and 202400.  Is there a way to write a DAX measure to calculate this?  Eventually, I would use those "pervious periods" to get the amounts from the General Ledger.
