Ranking customers both on the current and previous years in one table (and restrict to 10 rows)

Hi everyone, 

I hope the title is not too confusing, but basically I have a table looking like following: 

Table:
[date, sales volume, customer
01.01.1970, 100, A
01.01.1970, 200, B
...
31.12.1970, 500, C
31.12.1970, 550, D
...
01.01.1971, 120, A
01.01.1971, 230, B
...
31.12.1971, 550, C
31.12.1971, 650, D
]

What I need to do is to have table which basically shows 10 clients with biggest sum([sales volume]) this year,

and shows those clients' ranks in the previous year.

 

I do understand how I rank current year (with set analysis), but can't get my head around how to rank the previous year's sales in the same table

Any help would be really appreciated,

Thanks in advance

The three measures are:

If( Rank( Sum({<Year={2018}>}Sales))<=10 , Sum({<Year={2018}>}Sales) )

If( Rank( Sum({<Year={2018}>}Sales))<=10 , Rank( Sum({<Year={2018}>} Sales)) )

If( Rank( Sum({<Year={2018}>}Sales))<=10 , Rank( Sum({<Year={2017}>} Sales)) )

Hi, thanks a lot! 

So the idea is to use IF statement instead of set analysis
