If statement not working

I have a measure that finds the start period (12 months prior to latest date).  Which is returning a value of 53 (we are on month 66 right now).

 

Start Period =
   LOOKUPVALUE('Fiscal Map'[Period #],
    'Fiscal Map'[Date],
    MAX(
        'LEDS - SQL'[Fiscal_Week])
        )-13
 
Then I am doing a simple IF to include all periods that are greater than the start period
 
12 Months = IF([Period #]>[Start Period],"Include","Exclude")
 
The problems is - everything is "Include" (months 1 - 66) instead of just months 54-66. 
 
[Period #] is a whole number and [Start Period] is a whole number.

No clue why this works, but if I switch the formula to this it works just fine...

 

12 Months =

VAR StartPeriod =
    LOOKUPVALUE('Fiscal Map'[Period #],
    'Fiscal Map'[Date],
    MAX(
        'LEDS - SQL'[Fiscal_Week])
        )

RETURN
    IF([Period #]>(StartPeriod-13) && [Period #]<StartPeriod,
    "Include",
    "Exclude"
    )
