    Hi srk_powerbi ,

     

    Based on your sample data, you can create the following measure. My measure is updated dynamically, no slicer selection is required.

     

     

    % cexpected = 
var _aa=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER('Table',[CalcType]="sales"&&[Fy]<=YEAR(TODAY())&&[Fm]<=MONTH(TODAY())))
var _bb=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER('Table',[CalcType]="sales expected"&&[Fy]<=YEAR(TODAY())&&[Fm]<=MONTH(TODAY())))
return DIVIDE(_aa-_bb,_aa)

     

     

    Tips: [Fm] column is a calculated column which retruns the month number.

    Best Regards,

    Stephen Tao

srk_powerbi , In case you have date or can create a date then you can use time intelligence with date table

 

example

calculate([% cexpected], datesmtd('Date'[Date])

 

else create a separate table with year month  (say date) 

add rank column

Month Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[year Month],,ASC,Dense)

 

create measures
This Month = CALCULATE([% cexpected], FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Month Rank]=max('Date'[Month Rank])))
Last Month = CALCULATE([% cexpected], FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Month Rank]=max('Date'[Month Rank])-1))
