I chnages the following DAX code to what i have in my tables:

Margins LQ = CALCULATE( [Profit Margins], DATEADD( Dates[Date], -1, QUARTER ) )
QoQ Sales Change = [Total Sales] - [Sales LQ]
Sales 1M MA =
AVERAGEX(
    DATESINPERIOD( Dates[Date], LASTDATE( Dates[Date] ), -1, MONTH ),
        [Total Sales] ) and
 
Cummulative Sales =
CALCULATE( [Total Sales],
    FILTER( ALLSELECTED( Dates ),
        Dates[Date] <= MAX( Dates[Date] )))

I have hanged my data types, i believe it is correct now. Still i dont get data back, example: "

Sales LY = CALCULATE([Total Sales], DATEADD('Calendar table'[Date], -48,MONTH))"
 

Hi @Yrstruly2021

The orders Created_DateTime column contains time in addition to date. Therefore, it matches zero dates in the calendar table. I have created a Created_Date column and linked it with Calendar[Date] and now your measure works. However, I noticed that the year slicer still have blanks, so I adjusted the start date of the calendar table to MIN ( Orders[Create_Date] ) but still have blanks. I believe your data model and requires an overall check to clean up everything.
