Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please check the following steps.

1# Create a calendar table and a calculated calculated column "yearmonth" as slicer.

 

CALENDAR = CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[date]),MAX('Table'[date]))

yearmonth = FORMAT('CALENDAR'[Date],"YYYYMM")

 

2# Create two measures one for current month visual, another for previous visual.

 

Measure = IF(FORMAT(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[date]),"YYYYMM")=SELECTEDVALUE('CALENDAR'[yearmonth]),1,0)

Measure 2 = IF(format(EDATE(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[date]),1),"YYYYMM")=SELECTEDVALUE('CALENDAR'[yearmonth]),1,0)

 

3# Add measure to visaual level filter. Result would be shown as below.

@Anonymous , you can use time intelligence with date calendar . last MTD Sales

 

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 MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))))
last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
last year MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH))))


last QTR same Month (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Qtr))))


MTD (Year End) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date])))
MTD (Last Year End) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH),"8/31")))

 

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 :
