Unable to use alternate state or filter the dimension while using set analysis for previous calendar / fiscal year

Sample data set :

variables :

v_Year=if(getselectedcount(Year)=1,1,0)

Hello All,

I'm trying to filter the dimension (Distributor) by using Alternate state or by using the directly using the "Distributor.name " in the if condition

1.METHOD 1 : using the directly the "Distributor.name " in the if condition

=if(Distributor.Name='ABC' and v_Year=1,Sum({$<Year={$(=max(Year)-1)}[Value])/100000 ,
if(Distributor.Name='ABC' and v_FYear=1,sum({$<[FiscalYear]={"$(=Only((SubField([FiscalYear],'-',1) - 1) & '-' & (SubField([FiscalYear],'-',2) - 1) ))"}> [Value] )/100000,'')


Below is the screenshot of the output I get :

2. METHOD 2 : By using the Alternate State


Alternate_state1 is the list box for the Distributor names

Here is syntax that I used  for alternate state method to get the previous year value in the expression

=if(v_Year=1,Sum({$<Year={$(=max(Year)-1)}>}{[Alternate_State1]*$}[Value])/100000,if(v_FYear=1,sum({$<[FiscalYear]={"$(=Only((SubField([FiscalYear],'-',1) - 1) & '-' & (SubField([FiscalYear],'-',2) - 1) ))"}>} {[Alternate_State1]*$}[Value] )/100000,''))



The above atlernate state method is used to output the previous calendar / fiscal year , but my output shows the Current year instead of Previous year .

------------------------------------------------------

Here is syntax that I used  for alternate state method to get the previous year share of business in the expression


=if(v_Year=1 ,

(sum({$<Year={$(=max(Year)-1)}>}{[Alternate_State1]*$}[Value])/sum({$<Year={$(=max(Year)-1)}>}TOTAL[Value])),

if(v_FYear=1,

sum({$<[FiscalYear]={"$(=Only((SubField([FiscalYear],'-',1) - 1) & '-' & (SubField([FiscalYear],'-',2) - 1) ))"}>} {[Alternate_State1]*$}[Value] )

/sum({$<[FiscalYear]={"$(=Only((SubField([FiscalYear],'-',1) - 1) & '-' & (SubField([FiscalYear],'-',2) - 1) ))"}>} Total[Value] )))


- the above expression calculates current years value / previous year total value which is wrong as I need previous year divided by previous year total
