    Hi there,

     

    Happy to help. You should be able to write a DAX Measure to do a comparison of the two values and put that on a chart in Power BI Desktop by Month. Queries look something like below:

     

    DAX Measure for Buy:

    Bought =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( [Buy] ),
        TableName[Sold] = "No",
        TableName[BoughtMonth] = "Month Criteria"
    )

    DAX Measure for Sell:

    Sold =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( [Sold] ),
        TableName[Sold] = "Yes",
        TableName[BoughtMonth] = "Month Criteria"
    )

    DAX Comparison Measure:

    Delta Comparison = 
    [Bought] - [Sold]

    I'm not sure what your "Month Criteria" is so I put that in as a placeholder for whatever value would need to go there for your first two measures. Hope this helps!
