i want to use a button if i click on april my graph should display FEB MAR and APRIL data
that means it should show two previous mnths data and 1 present mnth data.

Hi @Anonymous ,
I think it is better to use a slicer rather than a button to change the values. Because we don't need to create 12 buttons for each month. I create a simple sample please have a try.
Create a new table and use its column as slicer:
Table =
ADDCOLUMNS (
FILTER ( VALUES ( Query1[Call Closed] ), [Call Closed] <> BLANK () ),
"Year", YEAR ( [Call Closed] ),
"Month", MONTH ( [Call Closed] ),
"MonthName", FORMAT ( [Call Closed], "MMMM" )
)
Sort the "MonthName" column by "Month" column:
Use MonthName column as slicer and change its orientation to horizontal:
Create measures:
Selected Slicer = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Month])RAW_SLA% 1 =
CALCULATE (
[RAW SLA%],
FILTER (
Query1,
Query1[Call Closed].[MonthNo] <= [Selected Slicer]
&& Query1[Call Closed].[MonthNo] >= [Selected Slicer] - 2
&& Query1[Call Closed].[Year] = YEAR ( TODAY () )
)
)
M.SLA% 1 =
CALCULATE (
[M.SLA%],
FILTER (
Query1,
Query1[Call Closed].[MonthNo] <= [Selected Slicer]
&& Query1[Call Closed].[MonthNo] >= [Selected Slicer] - 2
&& Query1[Call Closed].[Year] = YEAR ( TODAY () )
)
)
Count of Call Closed 1 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT(Query1[Call Closed]),
FILTER (
Query1,
Query1[Call Closed].[MonthNo] <= [Selected Slicer]
&& Query1[Call Closed].[MonthNo] >= [Selected Slicer] - 2
&& Query1[Call Closed].[Year] = YEAR ( TODAY () )
)
)

@Anonymous - You can use bookmarks for that or you can do something like the Complex Selector - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/The-Complex-Selector/m-p/1116633#M534
@Anonymous , if want choose a month display more data with month name
refer

You can also use time intelligence with date table
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last to last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,MONTH)))
previous month value = CALCULATE(sum('table'[total hours value]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))
diff = [MTD Sales]-[last MTD Sales]
diff % = divide([MTD Sales]-[last MTD Sales],[last MTD Sales])
previous to previous month value = CALCULATE(sum('table'[total hours value]),previousmonth(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
Last year same month value = CALCULATE(sum('table'[total hours value]),previousmonth(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
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 :
