          Hi Monika,

           

          Find my approach as reference below and stored in attached workbook version 10.3 located in the original thread.

           

           

          1. today LY: DATEADD('year',-1,today())

           

          2. MTD: if DATEDIFF('month',[date],today())=0  and [date]<today() then [value] END

           

          3. MTD LY: if DATEDIFF('month',[date],[Today LY])=0  and [date]<[Today LY] then [value] END

           

          4. up/down: if sum([MTD])<sum([MTD LY]) then "down" else "up" END

           

          5. YTD: if DATEDIFF('year',[date],today())=0  and [date]<today() then [value] END

           

          6. YTD LY: if DATEDIFF('year',[date],[Today LY])=0  and [date]<[Today LY] then [value] END

           

          7. up/down Y: if sum([YTD ])<sum([YTD LY ]) then "down" else "up" END

           

          Regards,
