calculatation day over day

Hi I need to calculate day over day

I attached the pbix file https://1drv.ms/u/s!Amd7BXzYs7AVhBBCo_Ls7q5IkrXH?e=d1nNmA 

 

I've tried the following calculated measure but actually it returns wrong values, it returns sales for current date, but I need to return sales for previous day. How to correct it?

sales day over day = var _maxdate=CALCULATE(max('Date'[Date]), ALLSELECTED('Date'[Date]))
var _mindate=CALCULATE(min('Date'[Date]), ALLSELECTED('Date'[Date]))
var dates=filter(values('Date'[Date]), 'Date'[Date]<=_maxdate && 'Date'[Date]>=_mindate)
return if(ISEMPTY('Date'), BLANK()
 
, calculate(sum(Sales[Sales]), FILTER(Sales, Sales[Date]<=_maxdate && Sales[Date] >=_mindate && PREVIOUSDAY('Date'[Date])))+0
)

@Anonymous , With help from date table try measures like

 

This Day = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('Date'[Date])))
Last Day = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('Date'[Date])-1))
Last Day = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), previousday('Date'[Date]))

 

diff =[This Day] - [Last Day]

 

Day Intelligence - Last day, last non continous day

If we want to have data of selected period of Current Period and its corresponding previous period (eg. if we select [(02-02-2015 to 02-02-2016 the data of previous year 02-02-2014 to 02-02-2015 should display nearby graph in shadow mode)]

@amitchandak I should display 0 even if there's no data for all dates selected in the date range slicer, what you propose does not work. 

@Anonymous , if you add +0 to measure that should do .

 

One more solution for that for between date range

 

0 between range
Measure = var _1= SUM(Opportunity[Opportunity count]) +0
var _min = minx(ALLSELECTED('Calendar'), 'Calendar'[Date])
var _max = maxx(ALLSELECTED('Calendar'), 'Calendar'[Date])
return
CALCULATE(if(max('Calendar'[Date]) <_min || max('Calendar'[Date]) >_max , BLANK(), _1))

 

 

 

Sorry, Seem like did not get it completely
