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 tabledate table

left tableleft table

 

right tableright 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
