Sales for last year is not coming up when I Insert a Slicer in Power BI

Hi,

I am trying to find the sales for this year vs last year and this is what I did.

Created 2 new measures:

Total Sales  = SUM(v_FactDailySalesWithLowestPriorityRecord[Net Sales USD])

Total Sales LY   = CALCULATE([Total Sales],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Dim_Date[Calendar_Date]))

 

Till here I was able to succeed in what I want to achieve and below is how it looked like.

Now I thought of adding a filter on Calendar Year and this is what is causing the issue to me.

When I did that and filtered my year to 2016 as shown below, I am not getting the sales for Total Sales LY( Last year sales).

This is even happening to me If I select 2 years like 2015 and 2016 as shown below.

Can someone help me with this?
