Hello manar_alamri,

 

You can use the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR, PARALLELPERIOD, or DATEADD functions to calculate previous period sales based on the selected filter.

Prev_Net_Sales = 
VAR _TimeFrame = SELECTEDVALUE('Time Frame'[Time Frame])
RETURN 
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        _TimeFrame = "Yesterday", CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Net Sales]), DATEADD('Date'[Date], -1, DAY)),
        _TimeFrame = "MTD", CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Net Sales]), PARALLELPERIOD('Date'[Date], -1, MONTH)),
        _TimeFrame = "QTD", CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Net Sales]), DATESQTD(PREVIOUSQUARTER('Date'[Date]))),
        _TimeFrame = "YTD", CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Net Sales]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date])),
        BLANK()
    )

Thank you Sahir_Maharaj , it works. However, when selecting the filter based on the quarterly period, the data doesn't appear. Should we have completed at least three months in the current year for it to match with the previous quarter, or is there another reason?
