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

[Anonymous]

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. 

Below are the dataset...

FY First Day	Amt	Category
2019-01-01 0:00	123	unit A
2019-01-01 0:00	2,341	unit B
2019-01-01 0:00	2,323	sales
2020-01-01 0:00	1,234	unit A
2020-01-01 0:00	200	unit B
2020-01-01 0:00	234	sales
2020-01-01 0:00	2,543	sales
2021-01-01 0:00	124	unit A
2021-01-01 0:00	200	unit B
2021-01-01 0:00	123	sales
2021-01-01 0:00	3,456	sales
2022-01-01 0:00	20	unit A
2022-01-01 0:00	5400	sales
