Hi @kb177 ,

Please have a try.

 Create a calculated column.

MonthYear = FORMAT([Date], "MMM'YY")

 

`Then create 2 measures.

CurrentMonthCount = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[ID])
PreviousMonthCount = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[ID]), DATEADD('Table'[Date], -1, MONTH))

Finally, create a measure that checks if any IDs were present in the previous month but not in the current month.

NotFound = IF(PreviousMonthCount - CurrentMonthCount > 0, "Not found", BLANK())
