You can do this in two modules, one for Quarter and one for Year.
First, make sure you Current Period is set in the Time Settings
The module for Quarter should be only dimensionalized by Time (a SYS Time - Quarter module) at the Quarter level. Create these three line items:
Do the same thing for Current Year
Now, you can create a module to use your DCA basing it off these values.

Yes, I do see issues with what you did. because you are nesting the NEXT function and making Hyperblock work harder for every calculation. Instead, I would break it up and do this
Create two line items:
Previous Year/Previous Quarter mbr:'Current Period' - 5 (formatted as Quarter)
Previous Year/Previous Quarter?: item(time)='Previous Year/Previous Quarter mbr' (formatted as Boolean)1

Hi Rob @rob_marshall
Extended your thought and came up with the following for previous year current quarter - do you see any issues with the multiple nesting of NEXT Function?
