compare to the previous within the slicer selection: = 
VAR _currentselectsales =
    SUM ( Sales[Sales] )
VAR _currentselectyear =
    MAX ( 'Year'[Year] )
VAR _prevselectyear =
    MAXX (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Year' ), 'Year'[Year] < _currentselectyear ),
        'Year'[Year]
    )
VAR _prevselectsales =
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales] ), 'Year'[Year] = _prevselectyear )
RETURN
    IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( _prevselectsales ), _currentselectsales - _prevselectsales )
