Hello Scotly

Please try using addmonths function as below:

addmonth(max(FiscalMonth),-1)

May be use this:

Previous Month

Sum({<type={'Order'}, Date = {"$(='<=' & Date(MonthStart(Max(Date), -1), 'YourDateFieldFormatHere') & '>=' & Date(MonthEnd(Max(Date), -1), 'YourDateFieldFormatHere'))"}>} Sales)

PreviousYear

Sum({<type={'Order'}, Date = {"$(='<=' & Date(AddYears(Max(Date), -1), 'YourDateFieldFormatHere') & '>=' & Date(AddYears(Max(Date), -1), 'YourDateFieldFormatHere'))"}>} Sales)

If this doesn't work, would you be able to provide a sample to look at?

Can you please post that. If possible, Please stick the Correct answer whoever gave the right way on your wall tab. Current Month -- Expression ? Last Month -- Expression ? Last Year Current Month -- Expression ?
