Hi! The solution works, but its' not ideal because then I need to create 2 metrics for all PY calculations.

 

In other words, ideally I would just have 1 metric for PY rather than having to create first the "YTD"* PY calculation and then the sum calculation of that.

 

*YTD = Max date being last orderdate
