    First Day Of the Current Month : = RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-DayNumberOfMonth(CurrentDate())+1)

    Last day of Previous month : = RelativeDate( [First day of current month];-1)

    First day of Previous month : =RelativeDate( LastDayOfMonth( RelativeDate([last day of previous month];-45));+1)

    /*****

    Example : First day of current month -- 10/1/2016

    last day of previous month -- 09/30/2016

    relative date 09/30/2016 -45 days = 08/15/2016

    last day of (08/15/2016) = 08/31/2016

    relative date 08/31/2016+1 = 09/1/2016 First day of previous month

    **/

    if your BO version is BI 4.1 Sp06 and above then try this.

    =RelativeDate(ToDate("01/"+FormatDate(CurrentDate();"MM/yyyy");"dd/MM/yyyy");-1;MonthPeriod)

    Try using:

    =RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-(DayNumberOfMonth(CurrentDate())+DayNumberOfMonth(RelativeDate(CurrentDate();-DayNumberOfMonth(CurrentDate()))))+1)
