Week over Week comparison, at the change of the year

The DAX formula belows: 
 
Customers PW =
VAR CurrentWeek = SELECTEDVALUE(DimDate[ISO week])
VAR CurrentYear = SELECTEDVALUE(DimDate[ISO YEAR])
VAR MaxWeekNumber = CALCULATE(MAX(DimDate[ISO week]),ALL(DimDate))

RETURN

SUMX(
FILTER(ALL(DimDate),
IF(CurrentWeek=1,
DimDate[WeekNumber] = MaxWeekNumber && DimDate[ISO YEAR] = CurrentYear-1 ,
DimDate[WeekNumber] = CurrentWeek - 1 && DimDate[ISO YEAR] = CurrentYear)),
appointments[customers])
 
returns the total number of customers on the past week (PW). The formula works fine for the same year. 
However, as this year has turned 2022, the formula does not know that 2021-52 is the week before 2022-01.
How can I adjust the formula above?
Thanks.

@Anonymous , Please create rank on year week column in week or date table and use that

 

example

 

Week Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Year Week],,ASC,Dense) //YYYYWW format
measures
This Week = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])))
Last Week = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])-1))
Last year Week= CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=(max('Date'[Week Rank]) -53)))

Previous Week Numbers Error.pnghi @amitchandak it seems to answer my question. On a similar topic, the result based on formula for LWTD seems to be off though..
From the appointments table, 

Customers LWTD =
CALCULATE(appointments[customers],
FILTER(ALL('DimDate'),'DimDate'[Week Rank]=(max('DimDate'[Week Rank]) -1)
&& 'DimDate'[Weekday] <=max('DimDate'[Weekday])))


seems to result a number for the whole year.
Any idea why that may be the case?

As comparison, this is the formula I use for determining Customers WTD.

Customers WTD = CALCULATE(appointments[customers],
FILTER(ALL('DimDate'),
'DimDate'[Week Rank]=max('DimDate'[Week Rank]) &&
'DimDate'[Weekday] <=max('DimDate'[Weekday])))

Customers WTD returns 43, whereas Customers PWTD returns 15.509..

@Anonymous , Hope this a measure, not a column, use of appointments[customers] creating a doubt.

if customers is a measure, then below should work with a datetable, marked as a date table

 

Customers LWTD =
CALCULATE([customers],
FILTER(ALL('DimDate'),'DimDate'[Week Rank]=(max('DimDate'[Week Rank]) -1)
&& 'DimDate'[Weekday] <=max('DimDate'[Weekday])))

 

 

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
