Download my PBIX fiel with the data and example shown below
Create a Date Table and mark it as a date table then create a relationship between it and your 2 other tables.
Create this measure
Measure = SUM(Table1[Count]) - SUM(Table2[Count])
and display it in a table
Note that I've formatted the date column to display just the Month-Year
