Quickly and easily set a dynamic range of dates to filter your results.

The same list is used across our Custom Measures filters, in the workbook with measures, and the chart filters in the property panel.

Select from the list of predefined periods when creating a custom measure linked with a date.

To access predefined periods in the properties panel, first add a date field in the Filter tab, then select "Date range". Once selected, predefined date ranges are aavailable.


The options include the most commonly used periods, and they're listed by the most frequently used.
