Adding a comparison filter

The Current Period Filter sets a time period for the initial comparison, and the two Comparison filters are used in tandem to set the second time period.

The following examples demonstrate how to set up the filters for specific use cases, and you can apply the same principles to compare other time periods.

Compare the last full week to the previous week. For example, if you ran this on Thursday, August 29, compare Monday, August 19 through August 25, 2024 to August 19 through August 25, 2023.

  • Current Period Filter: is previous week
  • Comparison: Date Value: 1
  • Comparison: Date Unit: Week(s)

Compare the last month, to six months before. For example, compare July 2024 to January 2023.

  • Current Period Filter: is in the month July 2024
  • Comparison: Date Value: 6
  • Comparison: Date Unit: Month(s)

Compare the last seven days to the same timeframe last year. For example, if you added this filter on August 29, compare August 23 through August 29, 2024 to August 23 through August 29, 2023.

  • Current Period Filter: is in the last 7 days
  • Comparison: Date Value: 1
  • Comparison: Date Unit: Year(s)

Compare the previous quarter to the same quarter last year. For example, if you ran this in Q3 2024, compare Q2 2024 to Q2 2023.

  • Current Period Filter: is previous quarter
  • Comparison: Date Value: 4
  • Comparison: Date Unit: Quarter(s)
Note: If the comparison date does have any data, only the Current Period Filter date is displayed.
