Filter function not working on DATE table

Hi Everyone,

I have date table, within which there are columns "Year" and "Current Year".
The DAX for Current Year is = 

if(YEAR(Date_Dimension[Date])=Year(TODAY()),"Current Year",Date_Dimension[Year]).
Both Year and Current Year are in Text Format.(I cannot change it).
I will be using Current year in a slicer.
I have created a measure, in which I need to calculate for previous year which is not working for me. Can anyone of guys help a brother out?
 
Selectedyear =
VAR SelectedYear =
    IF(
        ISFILTERED(Date_Dimension[Current Year]) &&
        SELECTEDVALUE(Date_Dimension[Current Year]) = "Current Year",
        VALUE(MAX(Date_Dimension[Year])) - 1,
        VALUE(SELECTEDVALUE(Date_Dimension[Year])) - 1
    )
VAR Formatter = FORMAT(SelectedYear, "####")

RETURN
Formatter

The measure that I created, 
 
Measure 2 =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Sales'[Quantity]),
    FILTER( Date_Dimension,
    Date_Dimension[Year] = [Selectedyear]
)
)
Now of I select anything in Slicer, it is just showing blank.

@Anonymous , Try like

 

Measure 2 =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Sales'[Quantity]),
FILTER(all( Date_Dimension),
Date_Dimension[Year] = [Selectedyear]
)
)

 

 

If you want to default the year on Current year, You need a column

 

Year Type = Switch( True(),
year([Date])= year(Today()),"This Year" ,
year([Date])= year(Today())-1,"Last Year" ,
Format([Date],"YYYY")
)

 

 

Default Date Today/ This Month / This Year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfn05preQYA

Hi Ankit,
Thank you for the reply. I used the ALL function in the measure as well. It is resulting in blank.

 

Is there any other work around?
