    I have a problem because of the sameperiodlastyear filter, it is not possible to use it twice on the same formula.

    You can try to create a measure as

     

    Measure =
 (
    SUM ( Table1[expense] )
        - CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[expense] ), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'calendar'[Date] ) )
)
    / (
        SUM ( Table1[volume] )
            - CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[volume] ), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'calendar'[Date] ) )
    )
