How to calculate relative time with autoCalendar

Hello,

I have created an application in which I have used autoCalendar to add some time related attributes (see below). This is autogenerated and pretty useful. Now I need to add relative time flags, e.a. YTD, previous YTD, MTD, rolling 12 months, current day, current month,... I want all these flags to be calculated based on the maximum date found in the fact table. So if in my fact table I have data until the 23th of november 2015, I want this date to be the current date and all other relative time flags should be derived from this date. Can someone help me out here?

Cheers,

JM
