@Anonymous , If you do not date in you table, create one using mon year. and then try time intelligence

 

example

 

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))

last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
Previous year Month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth(dateadd('Date'[Date],-11,MONTH)))

 

 

Take a diff

Assuming you have a proper calendar date table, DAX Patterns is a good resource for this kind of thing:
