So if you have the From and To entries set to Previous Year and Alternate Period to Last Year, it will give you two years ago (that is, the Last Year from the Previous Year). If you have both date controls in use, some other limits appear to apply as well. For example, a "Last Year" Alternate Period setting limits the report to a full year report, regardless of the From - To settings. That is, if you use Previous Quarter in From and To, it doesn’t change the report. If you want a report for a shorter or variant time period, then you can set the Alternate period to Use From - To.

You're referring to the General tab in the report options? How do I have to set it up to get the same problem?
