Card to show last month and month before values

[NZCraig]

Hi,

I have a table shown below, which has a relationship to my date table 'Date'[Calendar Date] and I need to create some measures so that I can:

1. Show last months value only in a card or other visualisation - 18.62

2. Get the month before that value - 49.26 to use in another measure.

I have tried using  

Previous Month FO = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'FOF'[fo_factor] ), DATEADD('Date'[Calendar Date], -1, MONTH) but I don't get the result I was expecting and I am pretty confident I'm not sure where to go from here :). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

@NZCraig , This should give you the correct result if you have selected oct -2021 in the slicer

Previous Month FO = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'FOF'[fo_factor] ), DATEADD('Date'[Calendar Date], -1, MONTH) )

and last to last month

Previous Month FO = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'FOF'[fo_factor] ), DATEADD('Date'[Calendar Date], -2, MONTH) )

Edit: These will work without a date slicer

This month Today =
var _min = eomonth(today(),-1)+1
var _max = eomonth(today(),0) //today()
return
CALCULATE(SUM ( 'FOF'[fo_factor]) , FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >= _min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max ) )

Last month Today =
var _min = eomonth(today(),-2)+1
var _max = eomonth(today(),-1) //today()
return
CALCULATE(SUM ( 'FOF'[fo_factor]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >= _min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max ) )

Last to last month Today =
var _min = eomonth(today(),-3)+1
var _max = eomonth(today(),-2) //today()
return
CALCULATE(SUM ( 'FOF'[fo_factor]) , FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date] >= _min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max ) )

Thanks @amitchandak , This page won't have any slicers on it, and the other measure I am creating is a simple truth table to show if last months numbers were better or worse than the months previous, for use with a conditional formatted icon
Will these still work without the slicer? Thanks for the video links to btw :).

@NZCraig , if you do not have a slicer, and want to use time intelligence your option is to end the calendar on today or month end.

Or use the formula's like one I shared using today. They will work even without a selected date
