PunitPrabhu , Create an independent date (with not join) and have column like

Month Type = Switch( True(),
eomonth([Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),-1),"Last Month" ,
eomonth([Date],0)= eomonth(Today(),0),"This Month" ,
Format([Date],"MMM-YYYY")
)

 

Save this slicer on This Month

 

and have measure like this using joined date table

 

//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
new measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date])
var _min = eomonth(_max, -12) +1
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))

      Hi PunitPrabhu ,

       

      According to your sample, I know you have the multiple date values are column headers in your table. And you want your visual to show data in dynamic date range with the changing of month.


      I think this is not a good choice to achieve your goal. Power BI doesn't support us to add columns or remove columns automaticlly.


      I suggest you to unpivot the multiple date columns which contains data. Rename the attribute column as Date column.
      Then your new table will only have Key columns, [Date] column and [Value] colume.

       

      Finally, you can create a Matrix visual to achieve your goal. Add Keycolumns into matrix Row Field, add [Date] column into matrix Column Field and add [Value] column into matrix Value Field.

       

      Best Regards,
      Rico Zhou

        Hi Anonymous Rico Zhou -- Thanks for your response . The solution which you mentioned i did that already. Using that method i need to create 2 separate tables one for Dynamic month and one for other value columns which have currency and number format which works fine. I was checking if its possible with dax measure it can be done in one matrix table itself
