Hi @Bhimashankar_D , I have fixed the previous month amount calculation in this file Download PBIX

I have considered the maximum month available in the data and not today's date, In your case it is December so the the previous month sales will be of november 2023.

Hi @Bhimashankar_D ,

You need to create a calendar table:

And create a relationship with the 'Data' table via [Date].

Use the columns in the calendar table to build the hierarchy instead of Auto date/time.

Now you can pick the comparison pattern that suits you.

Page1:

PM Amount = CALCULATE(SUM('Data'[Amount]), DATEADD('Date'[Date], -1 , MONTH))

Page2:

PM Amount2 = 
VAR __curr_period = SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Year Month Key])
VAR __prev_month_amount = CALCULATE( SUM('Data'[Amount]), REMOVEFILTERS('Date'), 'Date'[Year Month Key] = __curr_period - 1 )
RETURN
    IF( NOT ISBLANK(__curr_period), __prev_month_amount )

Thanks @Jai-Rathinavel for solution and sharing the file. But how did you changed the 'Promished Ship Date' to normal date thing, it was date hierarchy.

Also one more thing, if have to get the previous month amount how it will bheave when selected month(this will be filter) is Jan 2023 now previous month becomes Dec 2022 ?
