Year-1 calc not calculating for previous year but working for current year

Hi,

This is regarding year-1 calc. I have below calc in place

SUMX(DISTINCT(VALUES('Flsr SalesFact_6_month_stage'[Transaction_Date])), CALCULATE(CALCULATE(SUM('Flsr SalesFact_6_month_stage'[Net_Sales_LC_Amount]), DATEADD('Flsr SalesFact_6_month_stage'[Transaction_Date], -364, DAY), REMOVEFILTERS('Flsr SalesFact_6_month_stage'[Calendar_Year]),REMOVEFILTERS('Flsr TimeDim'[Year_Of_Week]))))
 
This is calculating year-1 perfectly for 2021 yr, when 2022 is selected. But when I am selecting 2021, its showing blank. Ideally it should show 2020 data. Request you support on this as it is quite urgent.
 
Thankyou!

@Anonymous , prefer to use date table

 

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))
week Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-364,DAY))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
