Hi Majad,
This is an interesting one that I had to play around with a little. Anyone who can optimize this solution, please do.

Here is the DAX measure I made to do this:
Change % = VAR cumulativeMinusOne = CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[Value]), PARALLELPERIOD('Calendar'[Date],-1,Month), 'Calendar'[Date] <= MAX('Table'[Year-Month])) VAR cumulativeMinusTwo = CALCULATE( SUM('Table'[Value]), PARALLELPERIOD('Calendar'[Date],-2,Month), 'Calendar'[Date] <= MAX('Table'[Year-Month])) VAR valueLastMonth = cumulativeMinusOne - cumulativeMinusTwo VAR valueThisMonth = SUM('Table'[Value]) VAR changePercentage = DIVIDE( valueThisMonth, valueLastMonth, BLANK() ) RETURN IF( DIVIDE( valueThisMonth, valueLastMonth, BLANK()) <> BLANK(), DIVIDE( valueThisMonth, valueLastMonth, BLANK()) -1, BLANK() )

You need to make sure that the year-month column is of type Date.
Make a connection between this year-month column and calendar[date].
