Excluding current month data in set analysis

I have a variable I use to only show data from the previous month, as well as a two month lag

vPreviousMonth =  "$(=Month(AddMonths(Date(Today()),-1)))"

vTwoMonthLag =  "$(=Month(AddMonths(Date(Today()),-2)))"

stored in my variable overview. I changed these formulas to try to also do the most current month:

vCurrentMonth = "$(=Month(AddMonths(Date(Today()),-2)))"

OR

vCurrentMonth = "$(=Month(Date(Today()))))"

In set analysis I'm trying to do exclude the most current month from charts using this formula:

Month -= {$(vCurrentMonth)}

but it's not working, however when I try to just view a two month lag, or previous month data with the top formulas it seems to work, does anyone have any insight into this?

Do you have one extra parenthesis in the end it seems here. Try this:

vCurrentMonth = "$(=Month(Date(Today())))"

Haha... must have missed that... thanks for catching it, I was trying all different sorts of ways to go about this and couldn't seem to get it right.
