compare values in the same column agnist current day and pay previous year

Hi, I have a dataset which has DATE, NAME, Hourbucket, Sales. I need to find out if sales was 0 for any hourbucket for a date and if true then check last year same date same hourbucket and same name to see if the sales was 0.

if both the conditions are true then "sales" else "NoSale".

Example

if Sale =0 then

check sales (Same column) a year before for the same name and hourbucket and that sales =0

then "NoSales"

else "Sales"

 

Any help will be appreciated.
This is the kind of dataset. Sorry the file is too big to get an exact sample

@samHil , Try a A new column =
var _sales = sumx(filter(Table, [Name] =earlier([Name]) && [hr] =earlier([hr]) && [Month ] =earlier([Month]) && [Day] =earlier([Day])
&& [year] =earlier([year]) -1),[Sales])
return
if([sales]= 0 && (_sales+0) =0 , "NoSales" , "Sales")
