NoFilter vs Previous Year

Question

Hi All,
I am new to BO/WEBI and I am facing an issue with a simple cost center report. My plan is to build a report with following structure
Cost element │ Act. Month │ Plan Month │ Budget Full Year Current │ Budget Full Year Previous Year │
and I am using following input controls
Cost center (Single value)
Fiscal Year/period (Single value)
The columns contains following:
Cost element: The Dimension “Cost element”
Act. Month: The measure “Amount actual”
Plan Month: The measure “Amount plan”
Budget Full Year Current: The formula “Plan Total - Current year”
Budget Full Year Previous: The formula “Plan Total - Previous year”
The two formulas is made as below
Plan Total - Current year:
=NoFilter(Sum([Amount Plan])) Where ([Cost Center]=ReportFilter([Cost Center]) And [Fiscal year]=[Current year] And [Version]="Plan/actual version")  
([Current year] = Right([Fiscal year/period].[Fiscal year/period - Key];4) (I would have used Reportfilter, but for some reason it gives me all the values)
Plan Total - Previous year
=NoFilter(Sum([Amount Plan])) Where ([Cost Center]=ReportFilter([Cost Center]) And [Fiscal year]=[Previous Year] And [Version]="Plan/actual version")
[Previous Year] = Left(Right([Fiscal year/period].[Fiscal year/period - Key];4);2)+ If(Right(ReportFilter([Fiscal year/period]);4)="2012";"11";If(Right(ReportFilter([Fiscal year/period]);4)="2013";"12";"13"))
Now I am facing following issues
The column “Budget Full Year Previous Year” is blank (properly due to a  #Multivalue-issue). How do I fix this?
Is there a smarter way to find “Budget Full Year Current” and “Budget Full Year Previous”
The column “Plan Total - Current year” is working, but this is properly because the variable choose all the year and the Input control filters the right year
Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi Gill
Yes I am using Bex as my data source. I have asked IT to make the selection within Bex, but it created some new issues
IT made a measure for Budget Full Year Previous, which was based on Current year - 1. Unfortunately this only worked if the users choose this year (2014) and the Budget Full Year Previous would then be 2013. If the user select fx August 2013 the Budget Full Year Previous will again be 2013
As an alternative IT suggested the selection should be in a prompt on the query. This could maybe work, but my report is quite slow so the user has to wait approx 2½ min each they change period.
Thanks for reply
