PYTD Feb Duplicates

I am calulating PYTD for year 2020. However, the month of Feb in 2020 has duplicated the same values from Feb 28th to Feb 29th (159.20). I am not sure if it is because the month of Feb 29 days compared to previous years where Feb is typically 28 days. When I only bring in Net Sales for 2019 the number does not duplicate. However, when I use PYTDSales measure the numbers duplicate themselves. Do you have any insight on how to fix?

  

My Net Sales Measure: 

NetSales = CALCULATE(SUM(FactNetSales[Amount]))
 
Measure to pull prior year sales:
PYTDSales =
CALCULATE(
[NetSales],
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(
'DimCalendar'[DateKey]
)
)

    Hi LyncoData1 ,

     

    Modify your measure as below:

     

    PYTDSales =IF(SELECTEDVALUE('DimCalendar'[DateKey])=DATE(2020,2,29),BLANK(),
CALCULATE(
[NetSales],
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(
'DimCalendar'[DateKey]
)
)

     

    Best Regards,
    Kelly
