    Hi , Anonymous 

    Try measures as below:

     

    LY MTD Inv Sales = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER(DATESMTD( SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]) ),MONTH([Date] )<MONTH(TODAY()) || (MONTH([Date] )=MONTH(TODAY())&&day([Date] )<=day(TODAY()))))

     

    Here is a demo.

You can try like

last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM([Total Inv Sales]),DATESMTD(dateadd('DateDim'[Date],-12,MONTH)))

 

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))))
last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
last year MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH))))

    Thanks for responding Amit.

    I am afraid i cant follow the your answer.

    Isnt there an easy way of filtering out the unwanted  days of LY MTD (26-31st march 2019) by may be flagging dates in calendar table ?

    Thx

    Fahad
