Creating DAX to predict future data - forecasting based on another measure

I am trying to create a measure to predict current year and future year's data on a trend chart. Like below, I have unites and sales records in one table. I created these two charts by applying a filter, which shows if the record is sales or unit. However, I only have sales forecast data for 2021 and 2022. Using sales YoY changes, I want to create a DAX for unit prediction. 

Here is the logic I want to create, and anyone know the correct syntax?

 

If year(FY First Day) >= year(dateadd(today(),+6,'month')), then previous year's unit*sales YoY change. 

 

For example, in this chart, I want to calculate the sales changes from 2021 to 2022. Using this fraction as a factor to multiply the unit in 2021 to get 2022's prediction.
