I have a column which captures the month the item was created.

How do I create a column which shows the month before this month?

 

Example:

Created month = FEB

New column would show month before = Jan.

Hey,

The solution in the thread below might point you in the right direction; https://community.nintex.com/t5/Nintex-for-SharePoint/How-to-get-previous-month-or-next-month-based-on-current-date-in/td-p/893

You can use the dateAdd-function in your form to add (or subtract) a month from one date, and then use the FormatDate-function to show the name of the calculated Month.
