    Sakaraipandian you can create another table that contains the festival date and name of the festival and then use that as a slicer for users to select the festival, and then use the date from the festival date to get the sales for the last 30 days.

     

    Last 30 Days Sale = 
    VAR __festivalDate = MAX ( YourFestivalTable[Date] )
    VAR __startDate = __festivalDate - 30
    RETURN
    CALCULATE ( 
       [Sales Measure],
       DATESBETWEEN ( YourCalendarTable[Date], __startDate, __festivalDate ) 
    )

     

    You might need to tweak it a bit but this will get you started.
