Hi @Srikantht ,

Please try create a measure with below dax formula, but you need adjust it according to your actua calculate context:

Previous month =
VAR cur_date =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] )
VAR _result =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( [Current Month] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), DATEDIFF ( cur_date, [Date], MONTH ) = -1 )
    )
RETURN
    _result
