I'm not sure if this is intentional and if this was always the case, but I am unable to add comparisons (both period or year over year) to tables if I'm using the date as a dimension.

It seems like a bug, I have the same issue with GA4, and there is some other user who shared the same issue with Google Ads. 

I have made a submission : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/364179203
