Using Filters
You have a multitude of date options to select from, from single days to multiple years.
Years/Months/Weeks (Calendar)
This option shows you the whole of the previous year/month/week, at the time of writing it is April 2021, with the filter set to 1 calendar year you can see from the dates below it is showing the whole of 2020.
The last 3 months show all of Jan, Feb and March. It doesn't include the current month (April at the time of writing).
Top Tip
If you are increasing the range of a date e.g from 3 Months to a Year, change the number value first. There is no 'Apply' button. If you were to change the Year first it would filter to 3 Years, before you can change it to 1 year. If you have a lot of data in the system it may cause a delay while loading 3 years of data.
Years/Months/Weeks
This setting will go back from the current date, notice the dates for 1 year, and go back to 13th April 2020. The last 3 months, compared with the above go back to 13th Jan, which is 3 months ago from today's date.
This vs Last
If you would like to view everything in the current year/month/week, change 'Last' to 'This'
