Dashboards & Visualizations

choosing previous month not working when trying to do a dynamic gauge

I have the following search:

index=core source="*source1*"...  | 
stats  max(field1) as "fieldname1" | 
gauge max(field1) as "fieldname1" 
[search index=core source="*source2*"   | 
rex field=Licensefilename "(?P<subname>(?<=_).*?(?=\.)).*"  | 
stats  max(field2) as fieldname2 | 
eval first=0 | 
eval second=fieldname2 -50/100*fieldname2 | 
eval third=fieldname2 -20/100*fieldname2 | 
eval fourth=fieldname2  | 
eval range=first+" "+second+" "+third+" "+fourth | return $range]

and it gives this output (i use this for creating a dynamic gauge visualisation)

x   y1  y2  y3  y4
216810  0   150000  240000  300000 

this works well if i choose the date to be yesterday or the last 30days, but if I choose the date to be the previous month i get this

x
217891  

whcih indicates to me that my $range is not being returned when I choose previous month

Anyway I can NOT get this to work for the previous month, which is what I want as opposed to the last X days.

Any way I can get this to work for previous month?

Whether the data will be the presence of the previous month of sub-search?

index=core source="source2"

if i pick last 30 days it works for my 1st search source="source1" and 2nd subsearch source="source2" if i understand correctly.

then if i pick previous month I want that to work(or be applied) to my 1st search source="source1" and 2nd subsearch source="source2"

Maybe you are saying that I have to put earliest=?? and latest=?? inside my 2nd subserch source="source2"?
I could give this a try but how would i write earliest=?? and latest=?? to be the previouse month?
Is it earliest=-1m@m and latest=@m?
