@MeghnaZutshi , if you need based on today and there is no date filter

 

previous day = calculate([net], filter(table, Table[Date] = today()-1) )

 

previous month day =

var _last = date(year(today()), month(today()) -1, day(today()) )

return

calculate([net], filter(table, Table[Date] = _last ) )

 

 

or with the date table ignoring the filter on date table

previous day = calculate([net], filter(all(date), date[Date] = today()-1) )

 

same way other more such formula
