How to get date table that is exactly same months but X years ago ?

Hi,

I have two single-select slicers - a year slicer and a month slicer. Say selection is Year=2021, Month=09. How do I calculate sales for nine months for year 2019? I want to avoid using multi-select slicers which require clicking all 9 months that is not very user-friendly.

 

Thanks.

@gvg , You can get with these example, if you are using date table

 

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

 

 

Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
