'MdxScript(Model) (3,70) Function DATED expects a contiguous selection When the date column is not unique, has gaps or it conteins time portions."

Hi, pls, I need help to resolve this issue.

Im doing a LY comparition, and i create a measure with dax 

 

PRIMA_COM LY = CALCULATE(SUM(base2[PRIMA_COM]),DATEADD('Date Dimension'[FCHEMISION],-1,YEAR))
It function well if I put in a table de measure, the PRIMA_COM to compare, and the date, from a dimension table that previously had created.
If I filter by page or by the visual for "month" i get the error message.  Even if I use the dimension date or the date from the table data its the same result.. 
what can I do? I need to show for just a few months the data, not everithing
