What is wrong with my DATEADD

Does anyone know why neither of these are working?  They are returning the Total sum with no date filtered.

 

Prior Quarter Total COGS = CALCULATE([Total COGS], DATEADD('Calendar'[Date], -1, QUARTER) )
Prior Month Total COGS = IF([Total COGS], CALCULATE([Total COGS], DATEADD('Calendar'[Date], -1, MONTH) ) )

Hi @wbridwell79 ,

 

if the calendar is not filtered, all calendar entries will be shifted by the interval.

Since you probably have more calendar entries than assigned facts, it looks as if all values are returned.
