Hi,

 

My advice would be to use a date table (easy and quick to build, like this) and make a relationship with your Sales date. Then make a second relation from New Processing date and your date table.

This 2nd relationship will be inactive (dashed line), but to use that relation use the function USERELATIONSHIP.

I don't know your structure but it will be something like this :

To SUM using the sales date and building your table with date coming from date table :

SUM( [Salesamount] )

or for SUM using the NewProcessingDate :

CALCULATESUM( [Salesamount] ) , USERELATIONSHIP[NewProcessingDate] DateTable[Date] ) )
Both calculations in a visual using date from date table should give you expected results.
Let us know
