Previous 5 year average using slicer value

[gc27]

I am a beginner to PowerBi so please accept my igonrance if I am missing something simple, but I havent been able to solve this one yet.

I want to create a measure to work out the previous 5 year average using the measure 'deliberate fire sum' from the table 'deliberate fires.

I would like the previous 5 year average to be in reference to a fiscal year slicer [CFRS FY] which is in the format 2024/25. so that when 2024/25 is selected in the slicer, the result value is based on the average of 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24.

I have been able to calculate this when locking the report to the fixed 6 year period within the report dataset;

Previous 5 year average = if(isblank(calculate(sum('Deliberate Fires'[Sum])/5, filter('Calendar','Calendar'[CFRS FY]<"2024/25"))),0,calculate(sum('Deliberate Fires'[Sum])/5, filter('Calendar','Calendar'[CFRS FY]<"2024/25")))

However, I would like the calculation to run based on a slicer selection for fiscal year and recalculate the previous 5 year average based on the selected fiscal year.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.
