The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
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.
