Compare 1st qtr this year to 4th qtr last year

I have created a report that compares production data from one qtr to the
previous qtr.

It is based on a crosstab query that sums the production numbers by qtr. I
have a parameter that prompts the user to choose which years production data
to use (filters by year).

This works wonderful when comparing 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, and 4th to 3rd.
However, obviously, it doesn't work to compare 4th to 1st, because now I have
data from two different production years.

I now realize I need to restructure the query so that I can compare
quarterly data from two years, but I don't know how.

Could someone please guide me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Diane
