📢 New Feature: “To-Date” Filters for More Accurate Time-Based Reporting We’ve added new To-Date options to date filters in GoodData Cloud, making it easier to analyze in-progress time periods with precision and confidence. What’s New? 1. New Date Range Presets: You can now use YTD (Year-to-Date), QTD (Quarter-to-Date), MTD (Month-to-Date), and WTD (Week-to-Date) filters directly in Analytical Designer and Dashboards to focus on data only up to the current day. 2. Seamless Compatibility: These filters fully support drilling, automations, exports, and more—just like any other date range. Why It MattersImproved Reporting Accuracy: Avoid misleading results by excluding future dates from comparisons in ongoing periods. • Better Period-over-Period Analysis: Make fair, meaningful comparisons across previous quarters, months, or years - even mid-period. 🚀 What’s Coming Next: We’ll soon expand To-Date support to metric-level date filters and to cyclical comparisons using view-by slicing. 📄 Documentation: Learn how to use To-Date filters in your dashboards and reports 🎥 Watch the Demo: See To-Date filtering in action and explore best practices Have questions or need support?

Hi @Natalia Nanistova Could you please confirm if applying the New Month-to-Date filter will address the following issue? Currently, I’m calculating Net Revenue using a headline metric in GoodData and applying the filter “This Month compared to Previous Period.” The comparison is slightly misleading because it compares revenue from the start of the current month to date (e.g., 1–10 August) with the entire previous month (e.g., all of July). Ideally, the comparison should be 1–10 August vs. 1–10 July. Could you confirm whether using the Month-to-Date filter with the “Compared to Previous Period” option will produce this behaviour?

Hi @sameer mehra, Yes, this is actually one of the main use cases behind this change. I prepared a small video to demonstrate this on a simple SUM function. Just to make it clear I also included a table split by days with a sum function to validate what’s being counted in the headline. You will notice that
This month
shows the full range of data. Using
This month to date
will cut off both metrics - this period and previous period, just like you described.
