Hi RobbLewz
Create a measure
Measure 2 = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table 3'[sale] ), FILTER ( 'date', 'date'[Date] <= EOMONTH ( DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1, MONTH ( TODAY () ), DAY ( TODAY () ) ), 0 ) && SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'date'[Date] ) ) )Best Regards

RobbLewz , you need to use a date calendar in all such cases

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
