For relatively recent dates, you may move forward or backward month-by-month and then select a date. Clicking "Clear", clears the data currently selected and exits the calendar.

Navigating to Dates

However, if you need to go forward or backwards within the current year (or any year for that matter), simple select the month, year, decade or century that appears in the top, central area of the calendar.
