Can you post the dummy data so that we dont have to waste time recreating it (probably incorrectly)

I have not found a simple way of doing this. there seems to be ways with extra pivots/powerpivot or VBA but nothing straight forward.
It is possible to do something with formulas to only show the last 12 months from a given date using the =EOMONTH function, but again it can get complex when setting up.

Hello,
There are of course other ways to achieve this, but as Purfleet mentions, it is not straight forward solutions and above all, not so dynamic as it could be.
You are better off if you can accept the users to highlight those 12 periods they want to see, instead of just one, because you are then using the functionality in Excel within its limits.
See attached file for examples.

You can't select one month in a Slicer and have Excel know which prior 12 month period you want displayed without also selecting the year.
The additional difficulty is that the Slicer filters the periods displayed in the PivotTable. If you're only choosing one month then it will only display one month. You can't tell it to display 12 months worth of data. You could display the total for the prior 12 months, but not the months broken out as you have them in your example.
I recommend you use the Timeline Slicer to allow your users to select the period they want to view.
