    Hi Mohivaj ,
    Based on the data you provided, you can try the following steps:
    Create a column

    Month_Number = MONTH('Table'[Date])

    Create a measure

    Baseline calculation = 
VAR _sumApr = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Cost]),
    FILTER(
        ALL('Table'),
        'Table'[Month_Number]= 4
    )
)
VAR _sumGroupBymonth = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Cost]),
    ALLEXCEPT(
        'Table',
        'Table'[Month_Number]
    )
)
RETURN
_sumGroupBymonth - _sumApr

    Final output

    Best regards,
    Albert He
