You can change the 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.
You can change the date in a report, but you cannot save a specific date to a report through report customization. Given that the Realtime report shows immediate data, it does not have a date picker.
You can currently view only daily data, not weekly or monthly data.
Change the date range
- When looking at a report, select the date picker in the top right.
- Choose a date range. You can choose from pre-set ranges, such as "Last 7 days" and "Last 12 months", or 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
