2. create a measure with below dax formula

Measure =
VAR cur_ym =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[year_month] )
VAR cur_year =
    INT ( LEFT ( cur_ym, 4 ) )
VAR cur_month =
    INT ( RIGHT ( cur_ym, 2 ) )
VAR tmp =
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        INT ( LEFT ( 'Table'[year_month], 4 ) = cur_year - 1 )
    )
VAR _val =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Rev Last] ),
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        INT ( LEFT ( 'Table'[year_month], 4 ) ) = cur_year - 1,
        INT ( RIGHT ( 'Table'[year_month], 2 ) ) = cur_month
    )
RETURN
    _val

3. add a table visual with fields and measure

If you looking for something as above then its as simple as the below code:

PyQty = Calculate (Sum(Order_Details[Quantity]),DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
