There are two types of time period in the Period filter:

Dynamic periods

You can filter an insight so it shows data from a predefined period, such as the last 7 days, last month, last quarter, last year, and so on. With the exception of the Static period option, all time periods in the Period dropdown are dynamic, meaning the dates associated with the period will change with the passage of time. 

Image Modified

Dynamic periods are split into the following categories:

CategoryPeriods
Day
  • Last 7 days
  • Last 30 days
  • Last 90 days
Month
  • This month
  • Last month
  • Last 12 months
Quarter
  • This quarter
  • Last quarter
  • Last 4 quarters
Year
  • This Year
  • Last year

Static periods 

You can filter an insight by choosing two static calendar dates. Unlike the dynamic time periods listed above, a static time period does not automatically changed based on the passage of time. Once two dates have been chosen, they will remain the same, unless the dates are manually altered.

...

  1. In the Filters section, click the Date dropdown.


  2. From the Period dropdown, select Static period
  3. Select the dates on which the period will start and end.
  4. Click Apply.  

Include/exclude selected measures and the Date filter

When an attribute or the Date measure is dragged into the Filters section, it is automatically applied to the data in your insight. Clicking the funnel (Image Modified) in the Filters section, reveals a dropdown which allows you to exclude any of these attributes or the Date measure, by deselecting the checkbox next to it.
