Hi, I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but do you mean something like below?
compare to the previous within the slicer selection: =
VAR _currentselectsales =

FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Year' ), 'Year'[Year] < _currentselectyear ),
'Year'[Year]
)
VAR _prevselectsales =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales] ), 'Year'[Year] = _prevselectyear )
RETURN
IF (
NOT ISBLANK ( _prevselectsales )
&& _currentselectsales - _prevselectsales > 70,
_currentselectsales - _prevselectsales
)
