Try this:

 

Measure 2 = 
VAR __currentMonth = MONTH(EOMONTH(TODAY(),0))
VAR __previousMonth = IF(__currentMonth = 1,12,__currentMonth - 1)
VAR __previousYear = IF(__currentMonth = 1,YEAR(TODAY()) - 1,YEAR(TODAY()))
RETURN
FORMAT(DATE(__previousYear,__previousMonth,1),"mmm")

    Thank you Greg but it's not working for me...I have this error when I try to validate this new measure :

     

    La syntaxe pour '.0' est incorrecte. (DAX(VAR __currentMonth = MONTH(EOMONTH(TODAY().0))VAR __previousMonth = IF(__currentMonth = 1.12,__currentMonth - 1)VAR __previousYear = IF(__currentMonth = 1.YEAR(TODAY()) - 1.YEAR(TODAY()))RETURNFORMAT(DATE(__previousYear,__previousMonth.1),"mmm"))).
