Creating Latest Time Periods Selection from calendar date

Is there a way to show Latest 4, 12, 52 and YTD time frames as a dropdown in the report view so the user can select from it ? Here's my Calendar table and the dax I'm trying to do but still not working: 

 

 

Thanks for help!

    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
