@Greg_Deckler  i have tired but values are matching .

@THENNA_41 The question is, what are you trying to achieve? Let's say you have 1000 for current and 800 for previous, what do you want the result to be? 1000/800 = 1.25, 800/1000 = .8, (1000-800)/1000 = .2, (1000-800)/800 = .25 or something completely different?

@Greg_Deckler  how to convert this value to percentage .  i got  measure value 1.96  . i am try to convert this value ti percentage . its goes 196 %  .  

@THENNA_41 Maybe:

Measure =
  VAR __CurrentDate = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
  VAR __EOCurrentMonth = EOMONTH(__CurrentDate,0)
  VAR __BeginCurrentMonth = DATE(YEAR(__EOCurrentMonth),MONTH(__EOCurrentMonth),1)
  VAR __EOPrevMonth = EOMONTH(__CurrentDate,-1)
  VAR __BeginPrevMonth = DATE(YEAR(__EOPrevMonth),MONTH(__EOPrevMonth),1)
  VAR __Current = CALCULATE(<something>,'Calendar'[Date]>=__BeginCurrentMonth,'Calendar'[Date]<=__EOCurrentMonth)
  VAR __Previous = CALCULATE(<something>,'Calendar'[Date]>=__BeginPrevMonth,'Calendar'[Date]<=__EOPrevMonth)
RETURN
  DIVIDE(__Current - __Previous,__Previous,0)

@THENNA_41 Here is one method:

Measure =
  VAR __CurrentDate = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
  VAR __EOCurrentMonth = EOMONTH(__CurrentDate,0)
  VAR __BeginCurrentMonth = DATE(YEAR(__EOCurrentMonth),MONTH(__EOCurrentMonth),1)
  VAR __EOPrevMonth = EOMONTH(__CurrentDate,-1)
  VAR __BeginPrevMonth = DATE(YEAR(__EOPrevMonth),MONTH(__EOPrevMonth),1)
  VAR __Current = CALCULATE(<something>,'Calendar'[Date]>=__BeginCurrentMonth,'Calendar'[Date]<=__EOCurrentMonth)
  VAR __Previous = CALCULATE(<something>,'Calendar'[Date]>=__BeginPrevMonth,'Calendar'[Date]<=__EOPrevMonth)
RETURN
  DIVIDE(__Current,__Previous,0)
