    Hi, S3 ;

    Try it.

    Previous Period Value = 
var _a= CALCULATE([Value Measure]
	                             ,DATESBETWEEN(
									 Dates[Date],
									 [Start of Previous Period],
				    				 [End of Previous Period]),
									 ALL(Dates))
var _diff2=DATEDIFF( CALCULATE(MIN('Dates'[Date]),ALLSELECTED(Dates)),CALCULATE(MAX('Dates'[Date]),ALLSELECTED(Dates)),DAY)
var _diff1=DATEDIFF( CALCULATE(MIN('Dates'[Date]),ALL(Dates)),CALCULATE(MIN('Dates'[Date]),ALLSELECTED(Dates)),DAY)
return IF(CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),ALL('Table'))=_a||_diff1<_diff2,BLANK(), _a)

    The final show:

Hi, S3 ;

You could try it.

 

Previous Period Value = 
var _min=CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Date]),ALLSELECTED('Table'))
var _max=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]),ALLSELECTED('Table'))
return 
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value])
     ,FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Date]<_min&&[Date]>=_min-DATEDIFF(_min,_max,DAY)))

 

The final show:

It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Maybe it also has to do with this measure?:

Start of Previous Period = PREVIOUSDAY(FIRSTDATE(DATEADD(Dates[Date],-1*[Days in This Period],DAY)))
