    Hi,

     

    Please try this calculated column:

    Tiers = 
IF (
    YEAR ( 'Table'[Date] )
        = YEAR ( TODAY () - 3 ),
    "CY",
    "PY"
        & DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[Date], TODAY () - 3, YEAR )
)

    The result shows:

    See my attached pbix file.

     

    Best Regards,

The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.

Appreciate your Kudos.

I am trying to avoid hardcoding any years like in the example below.

 I want to put a formula instead of an actual year which will provide a respective yearso that I don't have to updates manually the years in the statement every year.

 

Tiers =
SWITCH (
    TRUE (),
    'Weekly Data'[Injury_Dte] = 2020, 'CY'
                'Weekly Data'[Injury_Dte] = 2019, 'PY 1'
     'Weekly Data'[Injury_Dte]) = 2018, 'PY 2'
                .....
">PY6"

)
