    Hi Anonymous,

     

    You can use the following Measure to count actual difference Month Over Month, but do not remember to close the “show items with no data”.

     

    Measure = 
VAR pre =
    CALCULATE (
        [weighted measure],
        DATEADD ( 'query2'[Month End].[Date], -1, MONTH )
    )
VAR thisMonth =
    CALCULATE ( [Weighted Measure] )
VAR d =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( query2[Month End] )
VAR ma =
    MAXX ( ALL ( query2 ), [Month End] )
VAR mi =
    MINX ( ALL ( query2 ), query2[Month End] )
RETURN
    IF ( d > mi && d < ma, thisMonth - pre, BLANK () )

     

     

    BTW, pbix as attached.
