Calculate same period last year from timeframe slicer

Hi all,

 

I have one master graph which the data is populated based on the selected slicers.

 

I am trying to calculate actual enquiries recieved as well as for the same period last year (which this timeframe is specified via the Timeframe slicer). Ideally would like a measure which is dynamic so that the same period last year is calculated based on the filtered Timeframe selections.

Thanks.

Believe I have solved it:
=
VAR TimeframeSlicer = SELECTEDVALUE('Date Parameter (table)'[Parameter])
Return CALCULATE([Enquiries], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(table[EnquiryDate].[Date]))
