Best practices encourage the use of a Date table with continuous dates covering the range of dates in the model as a dimension table. If you create a Date Table, you can use:

Current month =CALCULATE(SUM(table[Qty], FILTER( Date Table, MONTH(Date Table[Date]) = MONTH(TODAY()))

 

without a date table, you can use:

 

Current month =CALCULATE(SUM(table[Qty], FILTER(  Table, MONTH(Table[Date]) = MONTH(TODAY()))

 

beware that both these measures filter for the current month number, so disregard the year. 
If you need to make it the current month for this year, use:

 

Current month =CALCULATE(SUM(table[Qty], FILTER( Date Table, MONTH(Date Table[Date]) = MONTH(TODAY())

&& YEAR(Date Table[Date]) = YEAR(TODAY()))

hi @erhan_79 - You can follow the below steps to derive this: 

#1 Create a calculated column for Month

Order_Month = Month ( Date ) 

#2 Create a measure for total quantity

Tot_Qty = Sum ( Qty )

 

Now if you pull the measure into a table visual and use the Order_Month value as a column then you should see the total quantity by month
