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:

v-xuding-msft_0-1599466623616.png

 

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 , 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 :
