BeastMode calculation - specifying "previous month"

I am using this formula to calculate terminated employees:

COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN `WD Event Type`= 'Termination' AND `WD Record Type`= 'Activity' THEN `WD Employee ID` END)

I need to modify it so it will include a number for the PREVIOUS MONTH each time that I use it.

End goal: I plan to use this count in a drill path table to present ONLY terminated employees from last month. If you have a better idea on how to go about it I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you in advance!

    Do you have a date field being displayed on your card?

    Can you just use the Date Selector in your drill path chart to select Last Month?

    @GrantSmith It won't let me for some reason (on other cards as well)

    @GrantSmith ah I see what you're saying. The drill path itself shows all-time values, but if I click through the initial card - it does filter it by the date I set!

    I am happy that this turned out to be a non-issue :) Thanks a lot!!!
