what's the error exactly? What's the syntax for [Total Sales]?
is the Date table marked as Date table, with Date[Date] as key column? see here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-date-tables
is the join set to 1:many with single direction?

weird, syntax looks correct, but maybe you can try with this one:
LY Sales = CALCULATE ( [TotalSales], DATEADD ( 'Date'[Date], -1, YEAR ) )
I usually use https://www.daxformatter.com/ to verify syntax, maybe the spaces+capital letters will help
