Issue with measures

Hi i am new to Power BI 
Total Sales (Latest Year) = CALCULATE( SUM(Sale[SalesAmount]), FILTER('Sale', 'Sale'[Date].[Year] = [Latest Year]) ) i have this measure which is suppose to calculate sales for latest year(2022 in this case) but its calculating for all years.I tried  instead of latest year i put 2022 and it displayed the sales for 2022.But i check the value of latest year and it returns 2022 so why doesnt it work. 
this my latest year measure 

Latest Year = MAX(Sale[Date].[Year])

    Total Sales (Latest Year) = 
    VAR CurrentYear = MAX('Sale'[Date].[Year])
    RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Sale'[SalesAmount]), 
        FILTER('Sale', YEAR('Sale'[Date]) = CurrentYear)
    )

     

    I've hypothetically established this DAX measure, but without much clarity regarding your datasets. If this doesn't serve your needs, I recommend you share a sample dataset. This will give me a more comprehensive understanding of your data structure, enabling me to devise a more suitable solution.

  • Hi Wallet Masster, 

     

    You can use below DAX

     

    Total Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales([SalesAmount]),FILTER(YEAR(TODAY())-1)
