You can set a different date range in a report or compare data for one date range with data for another date range. When you change the date range in a report, all other reports are updated with the new date range. However, other users won't see the changes.
Set a different date range
- When looking at a report, select the date picker in the top right.
Given that the Realtime report shows immediate data, it does not have a date picker.
- Choose a date range. You can:
- Choose from pre-set ranges, such as "Last 7 days" and "Last 12 months"
- Choose a custom range using the calendar on the right
- Optional: Click Compare to compare the data for the selected date range with data for the previous date range.
- Click Apply
Compare data for two date ranges
Choose an option to compare data when you select Compare in the bottom left:
