amitchandak Tks for the answer.

Your example use "today" as the start date for the relative dates. But in my case, I use a slice that user can select the base date.

I solved my problem with the following measure with some adjustment to deal with year/month. But the idea is to use an agregate function considering all dates from calendar that is inside a range (GENERATESERIES).

_TotalProduct = CALCULATE( SUM(Data[product]); FILTER( ALL(Calendar); Calendar[Year] IN GENERATESERIES(SELECTEDVALUE(Calendar[Year])-3; SELECTEDVALUE(Calendar[Year]);1) ) )
