    One way to do this sort of thing is to create multiple relationships to your date table. (you should definitely have a separate 'date' table  with a contiguos list of dates in it to do this sort of thing). If you don't already have a date table in your model you could use something like this template to help create one

     

    But because 2 tables can only have 1 active relationship between them you would choose 1 of these as your active relationship, Then the other relationships can be activeated within specific measures that need them with the USERELATIONSHIP function.

     

    So assuming that the Sales Date was the active relationship you could write the [Closings] measure as follows (I'm using 'Opportunites' as the name of your main table here so you may need to changes this for your actual table name)

     

    Closings = CALCULATE( SUM( Opportunities[Closings], USERELATIONSHIP( Opportunities[Closing Date] , 'Date'[Date] ) )

     

    Where as [Sales] (which has the active relationship) can simply be as follows without the CALCULATE( ... ,  USERELATIONSHIP(...)) wrapper: 

     

    Sales = SUM( Opportunities[Sales] )
