Using dynamic values

I have 2 visuals - one displaying the current month data and one displaying last year same month.  I would like a way to show whether we are up or down this month from last year and since i cannot do conditional formatting based on a value in the other visual - can  i do a dynamic value to show this?  And if so how do i do it?.  It is based of of calculations that I added to the visuals on the web app

Consider combining them into a single visual.

So I tried this by pulling in the date field but when i use the same period last year the data doesn't pull in - I get the following error:

and I cannot pull in the date field otherwish it messes up the visual.  Thoughts?
