Hi All,
I am trying to build a multiline chart that would have 2 Y-axis line chart.

Y1 Axis to show Cumulative Line of YTD Sales vs PY to Date Sales and

Y2 Axis to show YTD Average Sales vs PY to Date average sales.

I have tried all the available line charts and seems not to be the one as per the picture attached.

Also, what's the best approach to calculate previous year to date in DOMO. Watched the brilliant video by @jaeW_at_Onyx on YouTube and seems a little confusing. Could some help please with some direction?

    For previous year to date, I do:

    "Case when Date >= DATE_SUB(CurrentDate, interval 1 year) and Year(Date) = Year(DATE_SUB(CurrentDate, interval 1 year) ) then Value End"

    Find the year value of today's date 1 year ago and only selects dates less than or equal to today 1 year ago.
