Power BI formula for subtracting previous month from currrnt month

I know this should not be this hard. All I want to do is show the difference in the current month and previous month. Can someone please help me with this dax calculation? It would be awesome if it were some current vs. prior so I didn't have to redo this for each month? Thanks in advance.

there are many ways to do so, with functions like: EDATE, PREVIOUSMONTH, DATEADD....

 

but most importantly, check this:

I'm not trying to go down the rabbit hole for another four hours looking for what might work...Simple formula would work to solve this...
