    Calendar = CALENDAR ( MIN ( Details[Report date] ), MAX ( Details[Report date] ) )
    

     

     

    Then, create your measure like so:

    Measure 2 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Details'[accrual] ),
        PARALLELPERIOD ( 'Calendar'[Date], -1, MONTH )
    )
    

     

    BTW, .pbix file attached.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Icey
