I think the best way to do it it is with the separated filters (year ad month), but if the user insist...

 

You could load the same data table 2 times, but in the second (lets name it as "auxiliary"), when you upload the date, put this sentence:

Last_year_sales:

load Sales as [Sales last year],

Date_sales+365 as [Date of last year sales]

 

And in the chart, create 2 expressions, one with sum(sales) and another with sum([Sales last year]. 

If you don't want to have a ugly chart, you can conditionate the second expression (to show it just when "year month" is selected if you want.

 

Best regards!
