Thanks Swuehl  for help and quick response .

Can you plz help me out to do this in expression level.

In a chart with dimension Month_Year, it should be something like

=Sum({<[Month_Year] = {">=$(=Monthstart(today(),-9))"}>} [Total Likes])

In the expression you should be able to restrict all your expressions using set analysis using this:

{<Date = {"$(='>=' & Date(AddMonths(Max(Date),-8)))"}>}

Here I created Date in the script using the Month_YEAR field you gave above like this:

Table:

LOAD MonthName(Date#(Month_YEAR, 'MMM-YY')) as Month_YEAR,

  Date(Date#(Month_YEAR, 'MMM-YY')) as Date,
