    The reason I asked because in your sample data one of the numbers (43) has the most recent data up to Oct, the rest is up to Nov and that was the reason for this question. Anyhow here is the measure for the previous month:

     

     

    Previous month Count = 
VAR __currentDate = EOMONTH ( MAX ( Sheet1[date] ), -1 )
RETURN 
CALCULATE ( 
    COUNTROWS ( Sheet1 ), 
    DATESBETWEEN ( Sheet1[date], 
    EOMONTH ( __currentDate, -1 ) + 1, __currentDate ) 
)

    No not quite, the rows should be the individual observations occuring each month (in this case numbers layed out as strings), and then the current month vs the previous month. 

     

    The previous month measure is not functioning properly as it is just showing all counts for the entire period.
