Calculate difference between two periods while selecting one period from slicer

This question is similar to others, but I couldn't find any posts solving for the unique challenge I'm having. 

 

I have a simple sales table with Rep, Quarter, and Sales. I want the report user to be able to select a quarter via a filter and then see the difference in sales versus the prior quarter. I have a measure that is calculating the differences fine using SWITCH, however if a rep is not present in the quarter selected, they do not show up in the output. Below I am showing small set of sample data, the expected output, and the output I am getting along with the measure i created to calculate the delta. Can someone please help me solve to make sure all line items show up? 

 

Measure to calculate difference: 

 

Delta =
SWITCH(
SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Quarter]),
"Q2", BLANK(),
"Q3", CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales]),Sales[Quarter]="Q3")-CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales]),Sales[Quarter]="Q2"),
BLANK()
)
 
Sales Table Sample Data
 
 
 

Desired Output when user selects Q3 from slicer

 

 

 

Actual Output I'm seeing where Joe does not show up:

    Hi relliott ,


    Try the following calculated column and measure:

    Q_ = IF(Sales[Quarter]="Q2",0,1)
    M1 = 
VAR A =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( Sales[Sales] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( Sales ), MAX ( Sales[Q_] ) = 0 )
    )
VAR B =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Sales[Sales] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( Sales ), MAX ( Sales[Q_] ) = 1 )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( B - A, FILTER ( ALL ( Sales ), MAX ( Sales[Rep] ) = Sales[Rep] ) )


    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.


    Best Regards,
