Anonymous , do you have date in you original data. if so you can use time intelligence and date table
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date])) last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))) last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date])) last MTD (complete) Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))) diff = [MTD Sales]-[last MTD Sales] diff % = divide([MTD Sales]-[last MTD Sales],[last MTD Sales])refer: Power BI — MTD - check without time intelligence option

Thanks, amitchandak! That worked perfect!
The following measures display same values as output. Does it matter if I use any of them? Or rather, what are the different cases to use them properly?
- last MTD Sales
- last month Sales- last MTD (complete) Sales
Will find time to study better time intelligence and date table. Really glad there are very active people in this community. 🙂
