Hello, I am trying to set up column definitions in Finacial reporting, which shows compassion of this year's accounting period to last year's same accounting period. FYI uses client uses 12M accounting periods.

Example of what I'm trying to achieve:

Column 1 has data for Accounting Period/Month for current year.

Column 2 has data for Accounting Period/Month for previous year.

	Column 1	Column
Year	2023	2022
Accounting Period/Month	March	March

Has anyone done something similar before? Or has any suggestions on how to make this definition?

The formula you should use is -1FY That will give you the period for the last fiscal year.
