Getting Sales of Previous Period with Multiple filters

Hello! Can't seem to get the correct value for sales of previous period when multiple sliders are involved. Already tried multiple solutions but I can't figure out what's missing. All the data are placed in a single table already to simplify the visualization. 

 

DeptSalesByType Table columns:

Sales (Fixed Decimal Number)

Department (Text)

Transaction_date (Whole Number)

Type (Text)

FullDate (converted Date/Time from Transaction_Date)

 

4 Sliders:

Year (2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020)

Month (Jan | Feb | Mar | .... Nov | Dec)

Type ( All | Loyalty | Non-Loyalty)

Department (Cosmetics | Kids | Mens | Womens)

 

Measures:

Sales Previous Period = CALCULATE(SUM(DeptSalesByType[ Sales ]),DATESBETWEEN(DeptSalesByType[FullDate],[Start Previous Period],[End Previous Period]))  -- always Blank result
 
Sales Previous Year v2 = CALCULATE(SUM(DeptSalesByType[ Sales ]),
FILTER
(ALL(DeptSalesByType[FullDate]),DATESBETWEEN(DeptSalesByType[FullDate],[Start Previous Period],[End Previous Period])
)--  same result as the sales of current Period

 

Sales Current Period = CALCULATE(SUM(DeptSalesByType[ Sales ]),DATESBETWEEN(DeptSalesByType[FullDate],[Start Current Period],[End Current Period]))  --  Working

Actually managed to solve this. Had to create a duplicate table of the FullDate and it worked. Not sure if it's the right way though as I made the date redudant.

You only a Full Date column, I don't see how did you get the Start and End period, can you just share sample pbix.

Hi,

Here they are:

Start Current Period = FIRSTDATE(DeptSalesByType[FullDate])
End Current Period = LASTDATE(DeptSalesByType[FullDate])
 
Start Previous Period = [End Previous Period]-[Days Current Period]
End Previous Period = [Start Current Period]-1
 
Days Current Period = DATEDIFF([Start Current Period],[End Current Period],day)

This is a question about DAX, not Power Query... Can you please post this on the right forum?
