Backward Rolling Date Range

+1

In addition to this, it would be nice if there was a setting that allowed for comparison date ranges to auto-update to span the same # of days as the selected reporting period range.

For example, if we select a reporting period range of one month (e.g. Feb 2018), then the comparison time period date range would auto-update to span the entire prior month period (e.g. Jan 2018). Then we update the reporting period to range 2 weeks, (e.g. he first 2 weeks of Feb 2018), then the comparison time period would auto-update to be the 2 weeks prior the start of our 2 week reporting period date range (e.g. the last 2 weeks of Jan). Then if we update the reporting period to be 1 day (e.g. yesterday), then the comparison time period would auto-update to be 1 day prior the reporting period date (e.g. 1 day before yesterday).

I strongly support the "previous period" time range based on the current panel date start/end and duration (and not today's date)

Hi @astalzer @jkunz @floriana_guardi @v-tiwri 

Was this feature rolled out?

Thanks

@hs_vk1 yes! there is a now a very flexible comparison period choice, with:

• Prior [x] to this date range
• This [x] last year to this date range
• Custom date range to this range

You can find it by right clicking on a metric in a table and selecting "Add time period column"
