Last month function with dax

Hi,

 

I have a table that i am trying to add a column based on a condition. In the New column i want it to show "Last Year", "Last Month" and "YTD" based on the calue under CY columns.

 

I have a formula that works for the most part except last month. It doesnt return latest months value based CY. Can anyone help with below?

 

New Column = var max_date = calculate(max(Tier[CY]),all()) return switch(true(),
Tier[CY]= max_date,"YTD",
and(MONTH(Tier[CY]) = month(max_date),YEAR(Tier[CY]) = YEAR(max_date)),"Last Month",
Tier[CY]= DATE ( YEAR (max_date)-1, 12, 31 ),"Last Year")

 

Below is what i want final table to look like
