    Hello,

     

    I am pretty sure that it only works with a dimension date table, so using this table your expression would be like the following:

     

    Prev Month count = CALCULATE([SKU_Count],dateadd(dim_date[.Calendar_date],-1,MONTH))

    Anonymous , not sure the name of date in date table, one of the following

    CALCULATE([SKU_Count],dateadd(dim_date[Calendar_date],-1,MONTH))

    CALCULATE([SKU_Count],dateadd(dim_date[Date],-1,MONTH))

    CALCULATE([SKU_Count],DATESMTD(dateadd(dim_date[Date],-1,MONTH)))

Anonymous , Use Date calendar

Prev Month count = CALCULATE([SKU_Count],dateadd(Date[Date],-1,MONTH))
MTD Sales = CALCULATE([SKU_Count],DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
Last month= CALCULATE([SKU_Count],previousmonth('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE([SKU_Count],DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE([SKU_Count],DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,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 :
