Problem to use Calculate for Previous Year YTD

I'm trying to create a measure to get Previous year YTD Sales but having trouble converting SamePeriodLastYear in form of Calculate (i.e. Third Method in my code).

 

I'm using ContosoDw for reference and below is code of two measure.

 

PY YTD Sales = 
/*
// Method One
CALCULATE (
[SalesAmount],
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( DATESYTD ( 'Date'[Date] ) )
)*/
// Second Method
CALCULATE (
[SalesAmount],
DATESYTD ( SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ) )
)
/*
// Third Method
CALCULATE (
[SalesAmount],
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Date' ),
AND (
'Date'[Date] >= DATE(YEAR(DATEADD('Date'[Date] ,-1,YEAR)),1,1),
// 'Date'[Date] <= DATE (YEAR(DATEADD('Date'[Date] ,-1,YEAR)), MONTH('Date'[Date]), DAY('Date'[Date]) )
'Date'[Date] <= DATE (YEAR(DATEADD('Date'[Date] ,-1,YEAR)),3,31)
)
)
)*/

Below SS while using Third Method
