Divide....

I am stuck.  I have the following columns:

 

Month

Value

Category

 

I am trying to take last months value and subtract it from this months value - I want to be able to sort it by the category.  Basically I am looking for the month over month difference, but the issue is my month is in the same column.

 

How can I set this up to properly show the difference?

 

Thanks in advance.

    VAR currentMonth = [Month]
    VAR currentvalue = [Value]
    VAR perviousmonthvalue = CALCULATE(
                                                                MAX([Value]), FILTER(ALL('TableName'),
                                                                                                   [Category] = EARLIER([Category], 
                                                                                                    [Month] <currentMonth
                                                                                                   )
                                                                                  currentvalue - perviousmonthvalue
