Hi @yodha ,

You can follow these steps to try:

1. I have created a calculated column to fomat date column for easy calculation:

 

Month-Year = VALUE(FORMAT('Table'[Date],"yyyymm"))​

 

2. I have created a measure to calculate present cost to replace previous column because I thought it was contradictory when calculating total cost basd on previous month:

 

Present cost measure =
VAR _minmonthyear =
    CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Table'[Month-Year] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) )
VAR _cmonthyear =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Month-Year] )
VAR _lastmonthyear =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Month-Year] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Month-Year] < _cmonthyear )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        _cmonthyear = _minmonthyear,
        SUM ( 'Table'[Present cost] ),
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[Present cost] ),
            FILTER (
                ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Categoary] ),
                'Table'[Month-Year] = _minmonthyear
            )
        )
            - CALCULATE (
                SUM ( 'Table'[Forecast cost] ),
                FILTER (
                    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Categoary] ),
                    'Table'[Month-Year] < _cmonthyear
                )
            )
    )
​

 

3. Finally, create a measure to calculate total cost:

 

Total cost = [Present cost measure]-SUM('Table'[Forecast cost])​

 

4. You will get the result like this:roll cost.png

Here is my sample file that hopes to help you, please try it: PBIX
