How do I set up a Beast Mode to count distinct events within a date range?

Hi Domo geniuses,
I have a dataset with a timestamp 'Start' field that tells me the date and time that a user session began. There's another column for User Session ID, which has its own unique ID. I want to count the number of distinct user sessions in the first year but Domo is having difficulty processing the data. The formula validates but I get this error message:
Here's my Beast Mode:
Case When start
>= MIN(DATE(Start
))AND Start
< DATE_ADD(Min(DATE(Start
)),INTERVAL 1 Year) THEN COUNT(DISTINCT Session ID
) ELSE 0 END

You can't aggregate an aggregate in a beast mode unless you're attempting to use a window or fixed function. Also, you can't compare an individual value to the aggregate of that same value within the same beast mode. Again this can be resolved with a window or fixed function:
COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN `Start` >= MIN(DATE(`Start`)) FIXED () AND `` < DATE_ADD(Min(DATE(`Start`)) FIXED (), INTERVAL 1 Year) THEN `` END)

@GrantSmith I fixed the sintax error with the code below but now it's only returning 1 user session per customer, which isn't correct. Any ideas what I can do?
COUNT(DISTINCT
Case WhenStart
>= MIN(DATE(Start
)) FIXED () ANDStart
< DATE_ADD(Min(DATE(Start
)) FIXED (),INTERVAL 1 Year)
THENSession ID
END)0
