Hi Anonymous 

You are unable to calculate two different measures based on the same slicer due to the relationship between the calendar table and the main table. There are conflicting contexts here.

If you are interested in comparing based on a selection from one slicer, you can use a "disconnected" calendar table.

And then create measures like :

Sales 1 = CALCULATE([Total sales (K/$)],FILTER('orders',[Order Date]=min('Calendar (2)'[Date])))
Sales 2 = CALCULATE([Total sales (K/$)],FILTER('orders',[Order Date]=Max('Calendar (2)'[Date])))

The pbix is attached
