Relative Date last month not current month

[Jan845]

Hello everyone

Is it possible in Powerbi in the Relative date filter, in the Last Months option, to select not the current month but from the last day of the previous month?

Currently I select for example last 12 months, it shows the current month (March), but the month is not over yet, I wanted it to start from the last day of last month.

Is this possible in PBI?

Can anyone help solve this in my file?

Hi @Jan845 ,

The Relative Date filter automatically adjusts to the current date and does not natively support starting from the last day of the previous month directly in the filter options.

Alternative is:

Create a calculated column that represents dates within the past 12 months starting on the last day of the previous month.

Column1 =
IF(
     Table1[Data] > EDATE(EOMONTH(TODAY(), -1), -11)
     &&
     Table1[Data] <= EOMONTH(TODAY(), -1),
1, 0)

Instead of using the built-in "Relative Date" filter, use the created calculated column as a filter in the report. Filter to include only rows equal to 1.
