Incorrect Measure Total - subtracting between two Month over Month measures
Hello,
I'm trying to get my Total Changes measure to calculate correctly. I'm using a matrix visual. Red is what I get currently, Green is the desired total.
| Year | Month | This Month | Last Month | Monthly Variance |
| 2019 | Jan | 19,223,321 | 18,290,500 | 932,821 |
| 2019 | Feb | 19,651,173 | 19,223,321 | 427,852 |
| 2019 | Mar | 19,891,796 | 19,651,173 | 240,623 |
| Current Total | 40,475,790 | |||
| Desired Total | 1,601,296 |
Measures:
This Month = SUM(Table[Widgets])
Last Month = CALCULATE([This Month], PREVIOUSMONTH(DimDate[Date]))
Monthly Variance = [This Month] - [Last Month]
Final Measure = IF(HASONEVALUE(DimDate[Year]) && HASONEVALUE(DimDate[Month])
,[Monthly Variance]
,?? // this line is what I'm trying to solve
)
I've been scouring the forums all day and can't seem to get this to work. I've tried variations using SUMX and SUMMARIZE but have yet to be successful.
Any assistance is very much appreciated! Thank you!

hyggins try to change your measure like below and then it should work and total of your monthly variance will be correct.
Last Month = CALCULATE( [This Month], DATEADD( DimDate[Date], -1, MONTH ) )
