Show matrix table column with last year's data sum

Hello all, 

Please can I ask for your help?

I have a matrix table with slicer which allows a user to determine within month/ year to show data.

AP23_0-1698074027341.png

I have a table "FTE" with a column also called FTE. The image above shows a matrix with column called "Forecast" which is a sum of the FTE column from within the FTE table. The FTE table shows entries for 2022 to 2024.

I need to show a column in the matrix called "Actual" which shows the sum of the FTE column for the previous year e.g. for October 2022.

The Measure I've tried to use is:

Actual =
CALCULATE(
    SUM(FTE[FTE]),
    FTE[WeekCommencingYear] = SELECTEDVALUE(DateTable[ReportingYear]) -1
    && FTE[WeekCommencingMonth] = SELECTEDVALUE(DateTable[ReportingMonth]) )
but the column doesn't show any values.
I realise this is due to the Slicer which is set to show values for October and November 2023 - therefore it is omitting any values for October and November 2022, which is what should show in the Actual column.
How can I create a measure which looks at the FTE table, and sums all FTE column values filtered to the month of the previous year?
 
Many thanks for your help.

You use a disconnected table to feed your slicer.
