Volume Last year not working...

Greetings and thanks in advanced...
 
I have volume categorized by fiscal year and now I want to display YOY and YTD, however it's not working. This is what I have for Volume Last Year:
 
Volume LY =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Opportunity Tracker 2.0'[Annual Volume LBS]),
DATEADD('Fiscal Calendar'[Daily Date], -12, MONTH
))
 
and this is what is looks like:

Please help.

@lennyt99 Maybe:

Volume LY =
  VAR __Date = MAX('Fiscal Calendar'[Daily Date])
  VAR __LYDate = EOMONTH(__Date,-12)
  VAR __LYEndDate = DATE(YEAR(__LYDate),MONTH(__LYDate),DAY(__Date))
  VAR __LYDateStart = EOMONTH(__LYDate,-12)
  VAR __LYStartDate = DATE(YEAR(__LYDateStart),MONTH(__LYDateStart),DAY(__Date))
RETURN
  SUMX(FILTER('Opportunity Tracker 2.0',[Date]>=__LYStartDate && [Date]<=__LYEndDate),[Annual Volume LBS])

@Greg_Deckler I like your thinking!

 

Unfortunately it didn't work. I have a relationship created with my fiscal calendar to the "date" in the opportunity tracker. It's so werid I don't know why it's not working. I would assume sameperiodlast year would work... It's not even returning anything

 

Thank you in advnce
