        CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Calendar[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( Calendar[Date] ) )
    VAR minDate =
        CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) )
    RETURN
            CALCULATE (
                SUM (SalesTable[SalesColumn] ),
                DATESINPERIOD ( 'Calendar'[Date], minDate - 1, - selectedDays, DAY )
            )

Hi, DiepNhiep 

 

Can you provide sample data for testing? Sensitive information can be removed in advance. What kind of expected results do you expect? You can also show it with pictures or Excel. I look forward to your response.
