HAVING Clause has no effect

I have this stored procedure. I want to run a few simple SQL functions against my tables. In particular I want to take a subset of records (One or Two years worth) and calculate AVG, VAR and STDEV.

It does not work the way I thought it would. I end up with the whole input table in #tempor1 which is about 6 years worth of records.

set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF

GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[findAve1YearDailyClose_MSFT]
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT adjClosed, volume INTO #tempor1 FROM dbo.dailyCl_MSFT
GROUP BY dateTimed, adjClosed, volume
HAVING (dateTimed > DATEADD (year, -1, MAX (dateTimed)))

SELECT AVG (adjClosed) AS "AVGAdjClose1Year",
VAR (adjClosed) AS "VARAdjClose1Year", AVG (volume) AS "AVGVolume1Year",
STDEV (volume) AS "STDEVVolume1Year", COUNT (*) AS "total"
FROM #tempor1
END

Thus if I change the number of years I subtract from the latest date from 1 to 2 I end up with the same result. What is the problem?

Thanks.

What about using:

SELECT adjClosed, volume INTO #tempor1
FROM dbo.dailyCl_MSFT
WHERE dateTimed > (SELECT DATEADD(year, -1, MAX (dateTimed)) FROM dbo.dailyCl)
GROUP BY dateTimed, adjClosed, volume
