Monthly Sales Report - Prior year comparison

Question

I am created a monthly sales report for Sales in Crystal 2011. I have a parameter prompting for a date e.g. 02/01/2014 to 02/28/2014. I would like to have the sales amounts beside this column for 2013.
I found this formula but I can only get my results from 2014.Anyone have an idea how I can do this ?
Thanks,
debbie
\\Current Period
If pwformatdate({OEAUDH.TRANSDATE})
in date(year(currentdate)-(if month(currentdate)<10 then 1 else 0),10,1)
to currentdate
then Amount Forumula
else 0.00
\\Prior Year Period
If pwformatdate({OEAUDH.TRANSDATE})
in date(year(currentdate)-(if month(currentdate)<10 then 2 else 1),10,1)
to dateadd('yyyy',-(if month(currentdate)<10 then 2 else 1),currentdate)
then Amount Formula
else 0.00
the parameter for my date is :
pwformatdate({OEAUDH.TRANSDATE}) >= {?FromDate} AND
pwformatdate({OEAUDH.TRANSDATE}) <= {?ToDate} AND
({ICITEM.ITEMNO}) >= ({?FromItem}) AND
({ICITEM.ITEMNO}) <= ({?ToItem}) and
{OEAUDH.TRANSTYPE} <> 3

Hi Debbie,
1) Modify the Record Selection Formula to;
{OEAUDH.TRANSDATE} IN [cdate(year({?FromDate})-1, Month({?FromDate}), day({?FromDate})) TO cdate(year({?ToDate})-1, Month({?ToDate}), day({?ToDate}))]
OR
{OEAUDH.TRANSDATE} IN [{?FromDate} TO {?ToDate}]
This should give you current and previous year's data for the period chosen by the user.
2) Assuming you have a group on the Date field set to print for each year, simply create a running total from the Field Explorer.
Name it Current Year.
Choose 'Sales Amount' as the field to Summarize.
Choose 'Sum' as the Summary Operation.
Under 'Evaluate', select 'use a formula' and use this code:
date_field IN
[cdate(year({?FromDate}), Month({?FromDate}), day({?FromDate})) TO cdate(year({?ToDate}), Month({?ToDate}), day({?ToDate}))]
Set it to Reset at each Group For Year
3) Create another Running Total and call it 'Previous Year'.
Everything remains the same from Step 2 except the evaluate formula:
date_field IN
[cdate(year({?FromDate})-1, Month({?FromDate}), day({?FromDate})) TO cdate(year({?ToDate})-1, Month({?ToDate}), day({?ToDate}))]
Hope this helps.
