Calculate value from a previous date

Hi,

I'm trying to write a measure to calculate the volume from a table but for the previous week selected in the filter. So the user can select the current week but the measure will show what is in the previous week. My data has a week column that is linked to the date table via week. 

My DAX measure is pretty much as shown below.

VAR = SelectedWeek = SELECTEDVALUE(Week)-7
RETURN
CALCULATE(COUNT(ID),'TABLE'WEEK = _SelectedWeek),ALLEXCEPT('DateTable'WEEK))

Any clue where I'm going wrong?
Thanks

@Ben1981 , Try using below mentioned method

 

VolumePreviousWeek =
VAR SelectedWeek = SELECTEDVALUE('DateTable'[Week]) - 7
RETURN
CALCULATE(
COUNT('YourTableName'[ID]),
FILTER(
ALL('DateTable'),
'DateTable'[Week] = SelectedWeek
)
)
