2712387 - SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) - Dynamic references in LastPeriods

• Creating a formula that contains LastPeriods results in error if the period is defined dynamically.
• For example: LOOKUP([AMT], [d/Time] = LastPeriods ("Month",[NUM]))
• For such a formula to work, the number must be defined within the formula.
• It doesn't work if it references a measure.
• Even if the measure contains numbers, SAP Analytics Cloud does not accept the formula and provides an error message:   "Formula could not be computed: Function LastPeriods expects parameter 2 of type "Number", but receives "Number"; try using the expected parameter type. Try rewriting the formula."
