The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data

HI Greg_Deckler , thanks for the links. I checked them all and my case seems to be matched with getting data using the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR. I tried using it the way the docs did but unsuccessful. I also checked the counterpart in your link which is TO **bleep** WITH DATEADD. However, I find it a bit confusing (sorry, I always have a hard time without examples) and I don't know how to use it in my formula since I only have months and years.
Your links are helpful and gonna use it on the future.
