Month on Month Trend for Sum of columns in defferent tables

So I have 4 tables,

Date,'

region,

sales and

expenses.

The sales and expenses are related to the region and Date (many to one) what I am trying to do is get the difference between sales and expense for each region on a month on month basis.

Try this measure 

 

Profit =  SUM( SALES[AMOUNT] ) -
SUM( Expense[AMOUNT] )

You can have the following measures on a matrix with Year-Month in Rows :

Sales Difference =  SUM( SALES[AMOUNT] ) - CALCULATE( SALES[AMOUNT] ,PREVIOUSMONTH(DATES[DATE]))


Expeses Difference =  SUM( EXPENSE[AMOUNT] ) - CALCULATE( EXPENSE[AMOUNT] ,PREVIOUSMONTH(DATES[DATE]))

When you mentioned Month on Month, it is supposed mean compare a month with another month, that was why I gave a complicated measure.
