Hi Team,

In power bi i need one line and stacked column chart like it should show the previous month data if the date cross 12th of every month or before 12th it should should previous two months data for example current month is april and date is 15th so it should show me last six month data i.e. Mar, Feb, Jan, Dec, Nov, Oct and if it doesn't cross 12th then it should show the months i.e. - Feb, Jan, Dec, Nov, Oct, Sept. I have written a dax query which is something like this but i am getting an error that 

'Measure'[PreviousMonths]: A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected. 

Dax Query - 

PreviousMonths =

VAR CurrentDate = TODAY()

VAR CurrentMonth = MONTH(CurrentDate)

VAR CurrentDay = DAY(CurrentDate)

RETURN

IF(

    CurrentDay > 12,

    CALCULATETABLE(

        VALUES('Calendar'[Month]),

        FILTER(

            'Calendar',

            'Calendar'[Heriearchy] <= EOMONTH(CurrentDate, -1) && 'Calendar'[Heriearchy] > EOMONTH(CurrentDate, -7)

        )

    ),

    CALCULATETABLE(

        VALUES('Calendar'[Month]),

        FILTER(

            'Calendar',

            'Calendar'[Heriearchy] <= EOMONTH(CurrentDate, -2) && 'Calendar'[Heriearchy] > EOMONTH(CurrentDate, -8)

        )

    )

)

Calendar[Heriearchy] - Contains Date, 'Calendar[Month] - contains Month number. 

Please let me know what i need to change in this query. It's urgent please help.

Hello Everyone!!
Thanks for your responses and your time, really appreciate, but i have solved the issue by my own by using the below mention DAX query. But anyways, really thanks for your support. 

SelectedMonths =

VAR CurrentDate = TODAY()

VAR CurrentDay = DAY(CurrentDate)

VAR StartDate =

    IF(

        CurrentDay > 12,

        EOMONTH(CurrentDate, -6),

        EOMONTH(CurrentDate, -5)

    )

VAR EndDate = EOMONTH(CurrentDate, -1)

VAR EndDate_1 = EOMONTH(CurrentDate, -2)

RETURN

IF(CurrentDay>12,

 (CALCULATE(

        SUMX('Measure',[Orders (MUSD)]),

        'Calendar'[Heriearchy] >= StartDate && 'Calendar'[Heriearchy] <= EndDate)),

        CALCULATE(

        SUMX('Measure',[Orders (MUSD)]),

        'Calendar'[Heriearchy] >= StartDate && 'Calendar'[Heriearchy] <= EndDate_1))

Once again thanks for your support.

Hi @Anonymous ,

First of all, many thanks to @ChiragGarg2512  for your very quick and effective replies.

Based on my testing, please try the following methods:

1.Create the simple table.

2.Create the new measure to filter month.

PreviousMonths = 
VAR CurrentDate = TODAY()
VAR CurrentMonth = MONTH(CurrentDate)
VAR CurrentDay = DAY(CurrentDate)
VAR curyear = YEAR(CurrentDate)

RETURN
IF(
    CurrentDay > 12,
    CALCULATE(
        SUMX('Table', 'Table'[Number]),
        FILTER (
            ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Date]), 
            ('Table'[Year] = curyear
                && 'Table'[Month] < CurrentMonth) || ('Table'[Year] = curyear - 1 && ('Table'[Month] > CurrentMonth + 5 && 'Table'[Month] <= 12))
        )
    ),
    CALCULATE(
        SUMX('Table', 'Table'[Number]),
        FILTER (
            ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Date]), 
            ('Table'[Year] = curyear
                && 'Table'[Month] < CurrentMonth - 1) || ('Table'[Year] = curyear - 1 && ('Table'[Month] > CurrentMonth + 4 && 'Table'[Month] <= 12))
        )
))

3.Drag the measure into the table visual and column chart. The result is shown below.

The error might be because of Calculatetable, try Calculate instead.
