Prior Year Data - Multiple Months

Hey, hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. I have a table of financial data, with posting month, and a month mapping table which will drive the filter of the financial data table.

 

The user will filter on a time period (1 or more months), and i want a measure that will calculate those months in the prior year.

 

I guess as the data will be filtered out, i will need to use filter(all()), but how can i pick up months from the prior year(s). I am just struggling with the fact that there may be multiple selections.

Make sure you have a Date table and mark it as a Date table, then you can take advantage of the Time Intelligence functions to easily do your calculation with DATEADD(), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(), etc.  Please see this post for detailed explanation.
