    rahul_ferns Use ALL instead of ALLSELECTED in the syntax also make sure calendar table and your data table have dates before 1 year. Also make sure tha the join date column should not have any timestamp. Like this: 

    Cumulative Count SPLY = var _date = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
    var _max = date(year(_date)-1,month(_date),day(_date))
    return
    CALCULATE(CALCULATE(COUNT(Tbl_Data_Register[ENTRY NUMBER]), FILTER(ALL(Calendar),Calendar[Date] <= _max)))

 you can try one of the following two solutions and replace your measures:Solution1:

       Cumm Sales = var _date = max('Date'[date])
  Var _max = date(year(_date)-1, month(_date), day(_date))
  return 
  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(all('Date'),'Date'[date] <= _max))

 

Solution2:

  Cumm Sales = var _date = max('Date'[date])
  Var _max = date(year(_date)-1, month(_date), day(_date))
  return 
  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(allselected(date),date[date] <=_max))

devesh_gupta  tried it with no luck. Getting no error, just blank column

Cumulative Count SPLY = var _date = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
    var _max = date(year(_date)-1,month(_date),day(_date))
    return
    CALCULATE(CALCULATE(COUNT(Tbl_Data_Register[ENTRY NUMBER]), FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Tbl_Data_Register),Tbl_Data_Register[DATE RAISED] <= _max)))

    Cumulative Count SPLY = var _date = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
    var _max = date(year(_date)-1,month(_date),day(_date))
    return
    CALCULATE(CALCULATE(COUNT(Tbl_Data_Register[ENTRY NUMBER]), FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Calendar),Calendar[Date] <= _max)))
