Hey,
easiest way is just to add another measure:
CountPreviousMonthFromToday = CALCULATE([CountPreviousMonth];DateTable[Date]= Today())
The reason is that Powerbi doesnt know for a single value what is the last passed month. Your Measure
CountPreviousMonth = CALCULATE(COUNT(Invoices[InvNr]);PREVIOUSMONTH(DateTable[Date].[Date]))
returns a table.
For correct function of measure
CountPreviousMonthFromToday
you have to extend your date table to minimun until today.
Hope it helps.
Greetings.
