HI @Anonymous

 

You could try this calculated table

 

Table 2 = 
VAR T1 = ADDCOLUMNS('Table',"MonthAsDateTime", DATEVALUE('Table'[Month] & "-2018"))
VAR LeftTable = SELECTCOLUMNS(T1,"Product",[Product],"MonthAsDateTime",[MonthAsDateTime])
VAR RightTable = SELECTCOLUMNS(T1,"Product",[Product],"MonthAsDateTime",EDATE([MonthAsDateTime],-1))
VAR Exceptions = EXCEPT(LeftTable,RightTable)
RETURN GROUPBY(Exceptions,[Product],[MonthAsDateTime],"C", SUMX(CURRENTGROUP(),1))
