FIRSTDATE, LASTDATE
FIRSTDATE returns first non blank date LASTDATE returns last non blank date.
Example
I want to calculate first 15 days of the sale.
FIRST 15 DAYS SALE =
VAR _START = DATE (2021, 01, 01)
VAR _END = DATE (2021, 01, 15)
VAR _RESULT =
CALCULATE (SUM ( tblSales[Sales] ),
FILTER (tblSales,
(
FIRSTDATE ( tblSales[Date] ) >= _START
&& LASTDATE ( tblSales[Date] ) <= _END
)
))
RETURN _RESULT

NOTE: You can use this measure, to calculate the running total for the first 15 days
FIRST 15 DAYS CUM_SALE =
VAR Period =
DATESBETWEEN ( tblSales[Date], DATE (2021, 01, 01), DATE (2021, 1, 15))
VAR _RESULT =CALCULATE (SUM ( tblSales[Sales] ),
DATESYTD ( tblSales[Date], "2021-01-15"), Period)
RETURN _RESULT

Example
step 1 > create 2 measure, FistDateSale & LastDateSale
_FirstDateSale = CALCULATE([Total Sales],FIRSTDATE(tblSales[Date]))
_LastDateSale = CALCULATE([Total Sales],LASTDATE(tblSales[Date]))
measure for the Total Sales is as follow:
Total Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(tblSales[Sales]),DATESMTD(tblSales[Date]))
This measure is calculating the running total in the month.
You can use the measures in the summarized table. This table is grouped be Year_month column.

FIRSTNONBLANK, LASTNONBLANK
FIRSTNONBLANK: returns the first value in the column for which the expression has a non blank value.
LASTNONBLANK: returns the last value in the column for which the expression has a non blank value.
syntax:
FIRSTNONBLANK(<column>,<expression>)
LASTNONBLANK(<column>,<expression>)
Example
I want to retrieve specified date from the table.

Example
I want to create a measure which will contain the sum of occurrences of values in Column A based on the values in Column B.
NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES =
VAR COL_B =
FIRSTNONBLANK ( LETTERS[Column B], "")
VAR RESULT =
CALCULATE (COUNTROWS ( LETTERS ), ALL (), LETTERS[Column A ] = COL_B)
RETURN
IF (ISBLANK (RESULT), 0, RESULT)

NEXTDAY,NEXTMONTH,NEXTQUARTER,NEXTYEAR
NEXTDAY () is similar to DATEADD()
syntax
NEXTDAY(<dates>)
_NextDay = CALCULATE([Total Sales],NEXTDAY(tblSales[Date]))
_NextDay 2 = CALCULATE([Total Sales],DATEADD(tblSales[Date],1,DAY))

NEXTMONTH
Returns a next month
NEXTMONTH(<dates>)

NEXTYEAR
Returns a table that contains a column of all dates in the next year, based on the first date in the dates column, in the current context.
NEXTYEAR(<dates>[,<year_end_date>])
NEXTYEAR() function returned the sum for the next year 2022 (102+75+46 = 223)

_NEXTYEAR =
CALCULATE(SUM(tblSales[Sales]), NEXTYEAR(tblSales[Date],"2021-01-31"))
[,<year_end_date>] is an optional argument, you can use it for the fiscal year calculation.

PARALLELPERIOD
Returns a parallel period of dates by the given set of dates and a specified interval.
PARALLELPERIOD returns a full period shifted in time.
PARALLELPERIOD(<dates>,<number_of_intervals>,<interval>)
<interval> month, quarter, year

Example
This picture demonstrate a difference between two different entries in the PARALLELPERIOD () function. <-12,MONTH> will shift the dates, <-1,YAER> returns a grand total for each row.

SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR
Returns a set of dates in the current selection from the previous year.
syntax
SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(<dates>)
This function is similar to DATEADD(OrdersDate[Date],-1,YEAR)) or PARALLELPERIOD(OrdersDate[Date],-12,MONTH)).
Example

Example
Calculating Year over year percentage growth
ORDERS YOY % GROWTH =
VAR ORDERSPRIORYEAR =
CALCULATE ( [ORDERSTOTAL], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( OrdersDate[Date] ))
VAR YOY =
DIVIDE ( ( [ORDERSTOTAL] - ORDERSPRIORYEAR), ORDERSPRIORYEAR)
RETURN YOY
