I have just two tables Sales and Calendar
Sales
Date_of_S Amount
10/1/2019 100$
4/2/2019 60$
5/2/2019 50$
28/2/2019 200$
10/1/2020 75$
1/2/2020 30$
3/2/2020 10$
4/2/2020 45$
5/2/2020 85$
calendar has been genarated with dates between two vars
minD =calculate (min(dates_of_S),all(sales)) -- 10/1/2019
MaxD =calculate (max(dates_of_S),all(sales)) -- 5/2/2020
TotSales= sum(sales.amount)
TotalSalesLY= calculate(TotSales,sameperiodlastyear(calendar.date)) -- calendar is connected many to one with sales and has been declared as a dateTable on the model
* When I see Jan20 compared to Jan19 everything's perfect
*When I see the sales of the period Feb2020 I receive TotSales 170$ (30+10+45+85)and TotSalesLY 310$ which is incorrect (this is the sum of Feb19 includes the sales of 28/2/2019)
* When I use slicer and I select dates up to 4/2/2020 I receive correctly TotSales 85$ (30+10+45) and TotSalesLY correctly 60$
* When I use multiple selection only 1/2/2020 and 5/2/2020 excluded the 4/2/2020 I receive 115$(30+85) and correctly for LY just 50$ (sales on 5/2/2019)
* Crazy!! when I use multiple dates and I choose e.g 1/2 2/2 ___ ___ 5/2 the result is correct
BUT when I use 1/2 __ __ 4/2 & 5/2 the last two dates of February returns the Total of February2019 310$ again ... (I give up)... The symptom meets the situation when you choose the 2 latest days of your sales?!?!?

I should use eomonth functions to avoid that or hasnofilter IFs.
Another aspect is when I use the sales date TotSalesLY= calculate(TotSales,sameperiodlastyear(sales.date_of_S)) the measure returns blank...
I suspect there is a problem with the connection of my Calendar or something DAX systemic or my ignorance
Thank you in advance

P.S SALES table derives from two tables appended in PowerQuery e.g Sales2019 into --> Sales
I'd like to ask what the ultimate goal is here to best help.
Try this first however -
TotSales = SUM (Sales.Amount)
AND
TotSales LY = CALCULATE ( [TotSales], DATEADD ( calendar.date , -1, YEAR )
The ultimate goal is to get the LastYear exactly of what I have in the CurrentYear
Has exactly the same reaction... Crazy? If I choose the first & last two dates of my date table returns 310$
Can you share the values for the days you're trying to calculate? I'd like to play around with it a bit and provide a solution
