What am i doing wrong

Hello

i have this messure, the ideea is to show value from 7 days back, if i select a date, from that date , if nothing is selected from today - 7

so this is tha data which is working for the today , or any other selection

Selected Day -7 =
var tempdate=
calculate(
    sum('Orders Sent last 31 days'[Valoare Comenzi Plecate de la Flip (EUR)]
        )
    ,filter('Orders Sent last 31 days'
        ,'Orders Sent last 31 days'[data]=  
            if(
                ISFILTERED('Date'[DateDispaly])=TRUE()
                ,CALCULATE(max('Orders Sent last 31 days'[data]),ALLSELECTED('Orders Sent last 31 days'[data]))
                ,today()
            )
            )
)
return tempdate
Problem is that when i chage it to 
Selected Day -7 =
var tempdate=
calculate(
    sum('Orders Sent last 31 days'[Valoare Comenzi Plecate de la Flip (EUR)]
        )
    ,filter('Orders Sent last 31 days'
        ,'Orders Sent last 31 days'[data]=  
            if(
                ISFILTERED('Date'[DateDispaly])=TRUE()
                ,CALCULATE(max('Orders Sent last 31 days'[data]),ALLSELECTED('Orders Sent last 31 days'[data]))
                ,today()
            )-7, /* this is the only change */
            )
)
return tempdate
it display blank
i presum is had to do with column type, the strange thing is, if i display only date value is working
Thank you for your time.

    Hi cristianj, your calculation looks to be overcomplicated... Is there a spicific reason why you wrote it in this way? You can achieve the similar result much simplier:

     

    Sales 7 days before = 
VAR _CurrentDate = SELECTEDVALUE( CalendarTable[Date] )             //we need to remember the currently selected date, because we0ll overwrite it with Calculate() later
RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        SUM( Sales[Sales] ),
        CalendarTable[Date] = _CurrentDate - 7
    )

     

     

    Let me know if it works or if I misunderstood your question.

        I see, here is the updated code (read comment for more details on it):

        Sales 7 days before = 
VAR _CurrentDate = 
    SELECTEDVALUE( 
        CalendarTable[Date], 
            MAXX( ALL( CalendarTable[Date] ), 
            TODAY() 
        )
    )
//we need to remember the currently selected date, because we'll overwrite it with Calculate() later. SELECTEDVALUE() return only 1 value, so if multiple dates are selected, we need to return an alternative result - the second argument of the formula. In this case I used Today() to obtain today's date, but you can replace it with any other date, for instance absolute MAX of CalendarTable. Simply replace the code of variable from the above with the following:
/*
VAR _CurrentDate = 
    SELECTEDVALUE( 
        CalendarTable[Date], 
        MAXX( 
            ALL( CalendarTable[Date] ), 
            CalendarTable[Date] 
        ) 
    )
*/
RETURN
    CALCULATE(
        SUM( Sales[Sales] ),
        CalendarTable[Date] = _CurrentDate - 7
    )
