Fetch Previous Year's Records in Einstien Analytics

I have a requirement in **Wave Analytics** where I need to fetch records from Previous year when current year is completed. I have a field named Processing Year. It now fetches 2017 records which we have hard coded. But when we move to 2019, it need to fetch 2018 records. I have tried lot of options but nothing seems to be worked out. 

Something like Current Year-1 will work. 
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

You can use below format
  
a = filter a by date('year', 'month', 'day') in ["1 year ago".."current year"];
a = filter a by date('year', 'month', 'day') in ["2 quarters ago".."2 quarters ahead"];
a = filter a by date('year', 'month', 'day') in ["4 months ago".."1 year ahead"];
a = filter a by date('year', 'month', 'day') in ["2 fiscal_years ago".."current day"];

Check below salesorce document for this.

Please mark it as solved if my reply was helpful. It will make it available for other as the proper solution.
