Hi , 
Ensure your monthly amounts are calculated in a measure, not a calculated column, as measures recalculate dynamically for the context (like time periods).

Use the corrected monthly amounts for the rolling sum, ensuring the measure evaluates the MonthlyAmount, not the cumulative Amount column
Define a measure to calculate MonthlyAmount dynamically using Parallelperiod
If this post helps please do give a kudos and accept this as a solution 
Thanks in Advance
