Hi @Anonymous 

As tested, i can make a similar visual as yours.

Though it is not the same, but it can tell what you want to explain via your visual.

1.open Edit queries, (you could find more details in my pbix by clicking on each step)

unpivot columns (select columns "Apr"~"Jul", then select "Unpivot columns" from menu)

rename column "Attribute" as "MONTH", change the type of "MONTH" column to "Date" type

select on the "MONTH" column, go to "Add column"->"year","month","month name"

Close&&apply

 

2.create measures

this month = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table1[clients]),ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[MONTH]))

previous month = 
CALCULATE([this month],FILTER(ALL(Table1),[Month.1]=MAX([Month.1])-1))

flag =
IF (
    MAX ( Table1[Month.1] ) = 4,
    0,
    IF (
        [previous month] < [this month],
        1,
        IF ( [previous month] = [this month], 0, -1 )
    )
)

+/- value =
IF (
    MAX ( Table1[Month.1] ) = 4,
    0,
    IF (
        [previous month] < [this month],
        [this month] - [previous month],
        IF ( [previous month] = [this month], 0, [previous month] - [this month] )
    )
)

create a calcuated column

SWITCH = SWITCH(TRUE(),[flag]<0,"LOSS",[flag]>0,"NEW","BALANCE")

Best Regards

First thing I would do would be to unpivot my month columns in Table 1. The, see if my Time Intelligence the Hard Way provides a way of accomplishing what you are going for.
