Hi, @Anonymous 

I tried to create a sample pbix file based on the explanation.

please check the below picture and the sample pbix file's link down below.

1 Value Avg =
AVERAGE(Data[values])

 

2 Value Avg Previous Month =
CALCULATE ( [1 Value Avg], DATEADD ( 'Calendar'[Date], -1, MONTH ) )
 
3 Percent Diff =
IF (
NOT ISBLANK ( [2 Value Avg Previous Month] ),
DIVIDE (
[1 Value Avg] - [2 Value Avg Previous Month],
[2 Value Avg Previous Month]
)
)
