Subtract YTD from Last Year YTD

Hello,

 

I have a dynamic date selector.  I have 2 measures (YTD and LAST YEAR YTD).  These 2 measure show correct sales numbers based on date selection.  However, I cannot find the correct measure to correctly subtract YTD from Last Year YTD.  Any help will be appreciated.  A simple measure of Measure#1 (minus) Measure#2  does not give me the correct result.

 

MEASURE #1

SALES CURRENT YTD =
SUM('SALES'[SALES AMOUNT])


MEASURE #2

SALES LAST YEAR YTD =
CALCULATE(
SUM('SALES'[SALES AMOUNT]),
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date]), 'Calendar'[Date] <= date(year(today()), month(today())-12, day(today()))
)
