    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 although Ashish_Mathur  solution will work in that case you have to select a period. if your ask is to always calculate % until previous month without selecting a month, add this measure (it is based on the file that Ashish_Mathur  shared in his response)

 

% Expected until Last Month = 
VAR __date = EOMONTH ( TODAY(), -1 )
RETURN
CALCULATE ( DIVIDE ( [Numerator], [Sales YTD] ), 'Calendar'[Date] <= __date )
