    Thanks! I ended up doing something pretty similar to that.  Mine looked like this:

     

    Total Sales Period 1 = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Total Sales]), DATESINPERIOD(Table1[Date].[Date],MAX(Table1[Date]),-22,DAY) )

     

    Total Sales Period 2 = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Total Sales]), DATESINPERIOD(Table1[Date].[Date],MIN(Table1[Date]),22,DAY) )

     

    Sales Difference = [Total Sales Period 2] - [Total Sales Period 1]

     

    % Change = DIVIDE([Sales Difference], [Total Sales Period 2])
