Previous year calculation

I have an expression in a table that calculates the number of enrolments when a user selects a year.  I would like to add a column to the table that calculates the number of enrolments for the previous year.  I am having difficulty doing this and wonder if it is because my Year field is presented in the following format e.g. 2015-16 to represent an academic year.

Thanks for any help.

How about this?

Count({<Year = {'$(=Max(Year)-1)'}>} enrollment)


I know you have format like 2015-16. You can play with some Date format
