Why is percentage of total in a month differs from percentage of total in a day?

Hi, a new user of Power BI here.

 

I am confused as to why the percentage of total based on month differs from percentage of total based on days. I used a date table for this. As you can see on the upper Table, the %total is equal to the Percentage Difference. However, it does not match when I base it on month as shown in the lower table. 

 

The formulas I used are as follows: 

 

Current Percentage of Total =
DIVIDE(
    [Submitted Running Total],
    CALCULATE(
        [Submission Count],
        ALL(Query2)
    ),
    0
)*100
 
Previous Percentage of Total =
CALCULATE(
    [Current Percentage of Total],
    FILTER(
        ALL('Calendar 2'[Date]),  
        'Calendar 2'[Date] = MAX('Calendar 2'[Date]) - 1
    )
)
 
and 
 
 
Percentage Difference =
[Current Percentage of Total] - [Previous Percentage of Total]
 
 
 
 
Please help. 
 
Thanks a lot!
