Help with a formula

I need, if it possible to write a formula, with this procedure,  I have a field called YEAR, so if this field is filtered (like I choose only data from 2015) then the formula must return year selected minus one (then 2014).   But if YEAR is not filtered then must return CURRENT year minus one. 

Is this possible? can you help me

Thanks in advanced

May be this:

Max(YearField) - 1

Replace YearField with your actual Year Field Name here

Hi Claus

If i understand correctly this might be what you're looking for:

if(GetSelectedCount(Year)=1,sum({<Year={'$(=GetFieldSelections(Year)-1)'}>}UNITS),sum({<Year={'$(=max(Year)-1)'}>} NITS))

Thanks

Sunny's idea works better, mine was to complicated

so full formula would have been:

sum({<Year= {'$(=max(Year)-1)'}>}UNITS)
