    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.

     

    For more information about the EOMONTH function, please see:

    If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.

     

    pbix file is attached.
