Hi @Anonymous 

Maybe you can try to use the EARLIER function, but this function only works for the calculated column.

For details on its usage, you can refer to the following documentation:

EARLIER function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

Here is an example:

Sample:

Create a calculated column as follows

Column = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[NAME]), FILTER('Table', [ID] < EARLIER('Table'[ID]) && [Category] = EARLIER('Table'[Category])))

If I've misunderstood you, please provide detailed sample data and the results you are hoping for: How to provide sample data in the Power BI Forum - Microsoft Fabric Community . Or show it as a screenshot or pbix. Please remove any sensitive data in advance. If uploading pbix files please do not log into your account.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Can you try below measure to get the difference?

Previous Value =
VAR CurrentValue = [YourCurrentMeasure]
VAR PreviousValue = CALCULATE ( [YourCurrentMeasure], PREVIOUSMONTH ( 'Date'[Date] ) // Use 'Date' as per your dataset structure )

RETURN CurrentValue - PreviousValue

Thanks!
