    hi, Boudewijn

    After my test, you could do these follow my steps as below:

    Assume that this is my data model

    Step1:

    Create a date table and create a Year Month Number column for each data table

    Year Month Number = YEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ) * 100 + MONTH ( 'Date'[Date] ) 

    date table

    left table

     

    right table

    Step2:

    then create a measure

    Measure = var maxdate=MAX('Date'[Year Month Number]) return
    CALCULATE(SUM('LEFT'[Sales]),FILTER('LEFT',maxdate='LEFT'[Year Month Number]))+CALCULATE(SUM('RIGHT'[Sales]),FILTER('RIGHT',maxdate='RIGHT'[Year Month Number])
    )

    Step3:

    Drag the date field form date table and the measure into chart visual

     

    here is pbix file, please try it.
