If you are fine to show the outcome in text, you can try the following method. This will be a easier method if the data is only for display purpose.

Create a mapping list to map the month in numeric (3) to month in words (Mar) as shown in the screenshot.

Then you can use "CODE(FINDITEM(Mapping, RIGHT(Data, 1))) & " " & MID(Data, 3, 2)" formula to get the output in text format.

Can you try the ADDMONTHS() function.

Also, you can always create a time range that goes back one year. Just use a system module for the lookup so you aren't making your modules overly big.

Add a dummy Time range of FY18 in your model.

Use PERIOD(Date) in your target line item - you should be good

Hi,

You can create a time range for FY18 i.e from April 17- March 18 separately,

Once a time range is created, all its periods are available along with model timescale periods as period format

as shown

Hope this helps
