Workspace: Easier custom date range creator

Thanks Andrey, that is helpful and is what I'm looking for.

I still think the it would be nice that when you did this, you didn't have to go to a separate page to create your data range. It would be good if a calendar pop up appeared and you could create the data range right there.

Thanks.

Hi Frank,

Right click on the column with the desired metric, select Add time period column > Custom date range...

This will add another column with the specified data range and metric you began with.

Hi Brandon,

The issue with this is it requires me to create a custom date range in the first place (the edit option isn't available for the preset date ranges like 'last month' and 'last 7 days') and I am not a fan of creating custom date ranges because it clogs up the 'Time' list.

If there was a way to create custom date ranges that then wouldn't be saved in the list, that would be helpful.

Thanks,

Frank

You should be able to hover over the custom date range, click on the , and then edit from there.  Perhaps you are asking for something different, though.

That's right. You may want to make a survey to find out what the most frequently comparison periods are. This may give you an idea about what custom date ranges to set up to cover 80-95% of use cases. Hope, it will be a great step forward.

Thanks Andrey.

That is very useful if I am comparing specific weeks but if I want a more custom date range, like 10 days, I would still need to do it another way

Just a tip on how you can quickly compare metrics Day over Day, Week over Week, Month over Month, etc.

Advise your colleagues to use Day/Week/Month dimensions as shown in the screenshot:

Let me know if it works as a workaround in the meantime?
