    Hi,

    I did this in two measures. Hope this helps!

    UnitTotal = SUMX('Table', 'Table'[L25]+'Table'[L27])

Monthly Total = 
VAR PrevMonthUnitTotal = CALCULATE([UnitTotal],
                         PREVIOUSMONTH('Table'[Report Date])
                         )
Return
IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[This Month]) = "October",
    [UnitTotal],
    [UnitTotal]-PrevMonthUnitTotal
    
 )
