How to calculate YTD LY -1 day?

Hi.  I have the following measure to calculate the number of customers YTD LY...

 

Customer Count YTD LY =
TOTALYTD([Customer Count], DATEADD('Date_Calendar'[Date],-1,YEAR), ALL(Date_Calendar))
 
My challenge is that when comparing YTD to YTD LY, since my data is updated overnight, when I look at data today I am always looking at one additional day last year.  For example, if today is Sep. 8, my YTD data is thru 9/7 but the YTD LY data is thru 9/8.  I want to adjust the YTD LY measure to essentially provide "year to date last year minus one day" and am seeking the community's help.  Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I think you ust use the DATEADD(('Date_Calendar'[Date],-366,DAYS).
However, this could interfear with leap year (If that is a concern).
