    It's possible to have calculated tables inside a measure but if you want to return a table, then you need to use CALCULATETABLE rather than CALCULATE. However, since you are using _inadequate_security_ inside a SWITCH as if it is True/False, I suspect that you meant to have an argument in CALCULATE other than the filter table.

     

    Did you intend to write something like this? (Note the line before FILTER.)

    Inadequately secured loans =
VAR _inadequate_security =
    CALCULATE (
        ISEMPTY ( 'Table1' ),
        FILTER (
            'Table1',
            'Table1'[Collateral Amount] < 1.5 * 'Table1'[Loan Amount]
                && NOT ( 'Table1'[Product ID] IN { 2222, 8888 } )
        )
    )
VAR _result_ =
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        _inadequate_security, "Inadeqaute Security",
        "Adequate Security"
    )
RETURN
    _result_

I am getting the same problem 

12_Months =
VAR CurrentMonth = MAX('date'[Month Name])
VAR PriviousMonth = DATE(YEAR(CurrentMonth), MONTH(CurrentMonth)-12, DAY(CurrentMonth))
VAR Result =
CALCULATE(
    FILTER(
        'ECA Model',
        'ECA Model'[Month Name].[Month] >= PriviousMonth && 'ECA Model'[Month Name].[Month] <= CurrentMonth
    )
)
RETURN
Result
I have tryed adding ISEMPTY( 'ECA Model') but it wont let me add the measure to column if I add this 
 
My objective is to create a filter that helps select last 11 months data with the selected data
