YTD in script

Hi, anyone knows how to create YTD dimension field with 'Y' and 'N' values in the script?
Basically, I want to add a filter so when choosing 'Y' filter out the current year up to today and all previous year up to the same date.

 

Example:

Year Month YTD
2022 Jan Y
2022 Feb Y
2022 Mar Y
2022 Apr Y
2022 May Y
2022 Jun Y
2022 Jul N
2022 Aug N
2022 Sep N
2022 Oct N
2022 Nov N
2022 Dec N
2023 Jan Y
2023 Feb Y
2023 Mar Y
2023 Apr Y
2023 May Y
2023 Jun Y

I kinda solved it with this code, but If anyone has another and better idea, you are welcome! 

 

if(YearToDate(sale_creation_date, -3),'Y',
if(YearToDate(sale_creation_date, -2),'Y',
if(YearToDate(sale_creation_date, -1),'Y',
if(YearToDate(sale_creation_date),'Y', 'N')))) as YTD2

 

Basically YearToDate function only applies to 1 year at a time, so I need to manually check each previous year and assign Y (-3 looks 3 years back, -2 two years back ...)

Like this.

If( Date#(01 & '/' & Date(Date#(Month,'MMM'),'M') & '/' & Year) - YearStart(Date#(01 & '/' & Date(Date#(Month,'MMM'),'M') & '/' & Year)) <= Today() - YearStart(Today()), 'Y', 'N' ) as IsInYTD
