The Date Selection code you showed is supposed to be a table, not a column in your date table. you need to go to Modeling Tab > New Table and Paste.

However, you can refer to the below video and adjust as per your need.

    Thanks Fowmy. I tried the DAX in table instead of column but still showing #ERROR. Any idea how we can fix this ?

    Periods Selection =
    VAR LatestDate = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
    VAR YearStart = calculate(STARTOFYEAR('ATLAS_Retail Sales'[Week Ending]),YEAR('ATLAS_Retail Sales'[Week Ending])= YEAR(LatestDate))
    VAR L12Start = CALCULATE(LASTDATE('ATLAS_Retail Sales'[Week Ending])-84)
    VAR L4Start = CALCULATE(LASTDATE('ATLAS_Retail Sales'[Week Ending])-28)
    var LWStart = CALCULATE(LASTDATE('ATLAS_Retail Sales'[Week Ending])-7)
    VAR L52Start = CALCULATE(LASTDATE('ATLAS_Retail Sales'[Week Ending])-365)

    VAR Result =
    UNION(
    ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDAR(YearStart, LatestDate),
    "Selection","YTD"
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDAR(L12Start, LatestDate),
    "Selection","L12"
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDAR(L4Start, LatestDate),
    "Selection","L4"
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDAR(LWStart, LatestDate),
    "Selection","LW"
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDAR(L52Start, LatestDate),
    "Selection","L52"
    )
    )
    RETURN
    Result
