Monthly prediction based on a rolling monthly average

I currently have the below formula that is working out the rolling avg month on month. Which is then used to minus the rolling average from the last calendar month to give me a predicition for what I should expect for the current month. The only issue is that at the beginning of every month I am having to go in and update the formula to include the last calendar month. Is there a way to update this formula so I am not having to update it, happy for the formulas to be seperated if that is easier?
