Anonymous Try this measure:

 

Sales Prev Year =
VAR _stopdate = today()
RETURN
    SUMX (
        'Date',
        CALCULATE (
            IF (
                SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] ) >= _stopdate,
                BLANK (),
                CALCULATE ( [Sales], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ) )
            )
        )
    )

 

EDIT: replaced LASTNONBLANK ( 'Date'[Date], [Sales] ) with TODAY(), as that lastnonblank() took out more data than intended.
