Need Measure to only show last 3 Years of Data

Here is a Power Bi Report.   Can someone create a measure I can use as a filter to show the last 3 years for any customer.  Customers are selected from Slicer on Selection Page which populates Page 1 columns.

Here is the File that I did get to work.  I took Last3YearsFilter below and put it in ChatGPT and got the measure corrected.

@bdehning Hey,
you can use below measure 

Last3YearsFilter =
VAR MaxYear = MAX(CustomerTable[Year]) -- Get the maximum (most recent) year selected or available
VAR Last3Years = MaxYear - 3 -- Calculate the year that is 3 years before the most recent year
RETURN
IF (
CustomerTable[Year] >= Last3Years && CustomerTable[Year] <= MaxYear, -- Filter for the last 3 years
1, -- Return 1 if the year is within the last 3 years
0 -- Return 0 otherwise
)

 

If you use aboce measure then you will get 3 year worth record when you select 1 in filter.

Thanks

I put this in as Measure  

Last3YearsFilter =
VAR MaxYear = MAX('Table'[Year]) -- Get the maximum (most recent) year selected or available
VAR Last3Years = MaxYear - 3 -- Calculate the year that is 3 years before the most recent year
RETURN
IF (
'Table'[Year] >= Last3Years && 'Table'[Year] <= MaxYear, -- Filter for the last 3 years
1, -- Return 1 if the year is within the last 3 years
0 -- Return 0 otherwise
)

But I get where the two [Year] are bold below    A single value for column 'Year' in table 'Table' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.

'Table'[Year] >= Last3Years && 'Table'[Year] <= MaxYear, -- Filter for the last 3 years

Show Last 3 Years =
VAR CurrentYear = YEAR(TODAY())
RETURN
IF(
    MAX('table'[Year]) >= CurrentYear - 2,
    1,
    0
)
 
 
Please find the attached pbix file.

That is why I need a measure.  There is 3 years or more of data but most are not within the last 3 calendar years.
