Total Sum vs Budget for every months and years

[KhoaVo]

Hi all, 

I'm creating a report that makes use of the clustered bar chart to show monthly expenses compared with actual budget but I'm currently lost and since I'm not that familiar with DAX and Power Bi it's hard to search for the right answer on the internet. 
I have a table listing expenses in specific dates like this: 

And a table with budget for each month like this: 

Is there a way that I can get the totals of expenses per month and year in the same date format as the one in the Budget Table so that I can make a relationship and illustrate them in a clustered bar chart? 
Thanks so much in advance

Hi, create a column in the first table

StartofMonth= STARTOFMONTH('Calendar'[Date])
turn it to date type. and then connect with your budget table.
