Calculate previous date from Slicer value

In the following table, there is a filter on Date column: 

 

DateProductsUnits
8/5/2017A10
8/5/2017B5
8/6/2017A25
8/6/2017B15
8/7/2017A30
8/7/2017B20

 

I want if no value is selected for Date in slicer then show the product wise comparison for maximum date and previous day. If a value is selected in slicer then show the comparison for the selected day and its previous day. If the minimum date value is selected then show details only for selected Date.

 

I want to create a matrix visual with expected output for Date for 8/7/2017 (or no filter selected, since this is a maximum date):

ProductsUnitsTotal
Date8/7/20178/6/2017 
A302555
B201535
Total504090

 

I tried creating the DAX expression below but in the visual, no data is displaying if any of the filters is selected.

Previous Day Count = CALCULATE(SUM(Dataset[Units]), FILTER(Dataset, Dataset[Date] = IF (ISFILTERED(Dataset[Date]) && HASONEVALUE(Dataset[Date]), FIRSTDATE(Dataset[Date])-1, MAX(Dataset[Date])-1)))

Try to create a calendar table and a measure as below. See more details in the attached pbix.

 

Calendar =
CALENDAR ( MIN ( Table1[Date] ), MAX ( Table1[Date] ) )

SumUnit =
IF (
    MAX ( Table1[Date] )
        = MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( Calendar[Date] ), Calendar[Date] ) - 1
        || MAX ( Table1[Date] ) = MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( Calendar[Date] ), Calendar[Date] ),
    SUM ( Table1[Units] ),
    BLANK ()
)
