Current vs Previous based on relative filter

Is there anyway to build a measure that would give you the current period vs the previous period, based on a relative filter. 

 

For eaxmple if the filter is set to last 30 days it would show the last 30 days minus days 31-60, a separate measure that just shows days 31-60

 

Then if you changed the relative filter to last 60, it would show it minus days 61-120, a separate measure that just shows days 61-120

 

If it's not possible with just 2 measures is there a neat way so I can have a number of different similar measures and use bookmarks to change the view of it?

    jlf81 , Try a measure like

     

    Last Period =
    var _max =maxx(date,date[date])
    var _min =maxx(date,date[date])
    var datediff1 = datediff(_min,_max,day)
    var _maxX = _max-datediff1
    var _minX = _min -datediff1
    return
    CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),filter(all(date,date[date]<=_maxX &&date[date]>=_minX)))

    amitchandak Awesome, thank you.

     

    Is there any way to edit that to deal with YTD\MTD? or would I need to adjust that measure

     

    Little typo in you solution 'var _min =maxx(date,date[date])' should be 'var _min =minx(date,date[date])' shouldn't it? Also couldn't get that last bit to work, but replaced it with ,DATESBETWEEN('Dim Date'[Date],_minX,_maxX))) and that seems ok

    Hi jlf81,

    Any update on your scenario? You only shared less information so that we not clarify your structure and do the test with them.
