I want to create a calculated column if the record is created last month 

 

IsLastMonth =
IF (
YEAR ( Table[date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )
&& MONTH ( Table[date] ) = MONTH ( TODAY () ),
"Y",
"N"
)

Hi @PowerBITesting 

IsLastMonth =
IF (
     (
        YEAR ( Table[date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )
            && MONTH ( Table[date] )
                = ( MONTH ( TODAY () ) - 1 )
    )
        || (
            YEAR ( Table[date] )
                = ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1 )
                && MONTH ( Table[date] ) = 12
                && ( MONTH ( TODAY () ) = 1 )
        ),
    "Y",
    "N"
)

The second part of the if is just to account for January and December
