Hi! I recently implemented Pop Analysis Method 4 (Compare Multiple Templated Periods) in an explore. It works fine except for the Period dimension. When I select the Number of Periods parameter as 2 I should be getting just This Year and Last Year as my periods (as per my understanding) but I am getting 2 Years Ago and 3 Years Ago as well in my results. See below,
Below is my LookML code,

}Is there any issue with my LookML code?
