@Anonymous , @amitchandak 

managed to crank my head around and comeup with the working solution :).

Below measure fit my prupose.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Measure = 

VAR PreviousMnth =

IF(ISBLANK(SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Month Number])),MONTH(TODAY()) - 1, SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Month Number]))

VAR Result =

CALCULATE(

[% Safety Critical Maintenance Compliance],

FILTER(

'Date',

'Date'[Month Number] = PreviousMnth

)

)

RETURN

Result

@Anonymous , try a measure like this

measure =
var _max = if(today()= eomonth(Today(),0),Today(),eomonth(Today(),-1)) // maxx(allselected(Date),Date[Date])
var _min = eomonth(_max,-1)+1
return
calculate(Sum(Table[Column]), filter(all(Date), Date[Date]>=_min && Date[Date]<=_max))

@amitchandak ,

this measure does not work for me. idea is correct @Anonymous  could you please post a related measure if you have. the % value on the card itself is a measure alredy.

So if i understand this correctly you want your KPI cards to show the results of the last completed month.  Easiest option is to create a measure that is current month - 1.  Then use that as your date indicator for your KPI card.  It should change based on selection.  

let me know if i understand your question correctly
