line chart with two slicers of custom dates and two date tables

newbie here need help.

 

i found a solution based from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPVSxxoN5sg, about using two slicers as input. my org requires users to select custom dates:

the line chart works great for the sales and plan (based on Timeframe dates) but Comparison Sales (based on versus Timeframe) is incorrect and overstated.
Total Sales: $42m
Total Plan: $44m
Comparison Sales: $347m (??? not right)

 measure:

Comparison Sales =

CALCULATE(

SUM(SALES_SUMMARY[SALES]), ALL(CALENDAR), USERELATIONSHIP(SALES_SUMMARY[DATE],'COMPARISON CALENDAR'[DATE])

)

thank you!

@mgtulips , if you have these dates you can have 2 lines, not one overlapping.

 

Both need to independent Date table slicer and you can have two measures like

 

//Date1 is independent Date table and Date is Joined
new measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date])
var _min = minx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date])
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))

 

 

//Date2 is independent Date table and Date is Joined
new measure 2 =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date2),Date2[Date])
var _min = minx(allselected(Date2),Date2[Date])
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))

thank you for the immediate response.

 

i took the file from one of the videos and was able to replicate the issue i described.

can you take a look at it?
range2 seem to be adding all the months, instead of breaking it down by day
I would include the pbix, i cant find the option to do that.
