Sameperiodalstyear calculation for last years same week of month

I have an issue that my measure for Sameperiodalstyear is not filtered to get sales of last year the same week of month period ist only calculate the month period but i was filtered to show the week of the month and it does not work.

Anyone can help me to right the measure for Sameperiodalstyear that calculates the week of the month period, not the whole month.
my report is sent every end of the week to my reporter so the measure should show the week period of the month, not the whole month. 

 

i have a date table and there are relationships with the salse table, and the date table i have calculated column the defines the dates similar to current week and i use this to filter to filter per week.

This measure may solve your problem. I am using [Total Sales] for the measure to get to any time frame that is filtered for, for prior year.

 

Sales LY = CALCULATE( [Total Sales], DATEADD( Dates[Date], -1, YEAR ) )
 
Sales LY-1 = CALCULATE( [Total Sales], DATEADD( Dates[Date], -2, YEAR ) )

hello 
thank you so much the refrences that you shared help me to catch this function 

 PREVIOUSYEAR ( 'Date'[Date] )

and my final code that solve may issue is compination between @Whitewater100 and @Greg_Deckler 

 CALCULATE ( SUM ( DIM_WON_ANALYTICS[actualvalue] ), //SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ), //DATEADD ( 'Date'[Date] , - 1 , YEAR ) PREVIOUSYEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ), 'Date'[IsWeek] = "Current Week", 'Date'[IsMonth] = "Yes" ) RETURN IF ( RST > 0, RST, 0 )
