Relative date filtering for month + day across several years

I am trying to compare values for a Day of the Month across various years. The goal would be to show a table comparing values like the following but only showing Day of the Month equal to yesterday's date from this year & last year.  I cannot figure out how to get dynamic filtering to work, given my "Date" or Day of the Month field is just a text field. I created it by extracting Month Name + Day, then merging the two into one column. 

 

Anyone able to help me figure out how to achieve this relative filtering?
