Displaying data for relative time periods
You can select a relative time period to use as a data filter. If you specify a reference date, Data Analyzer can perform calculations based on the following relative time periods:
Month to date
Month to date last year
Quarter to date
Quarter to date last year
Year to date
Year to date last year
For example, if the reference date is March 4, 2011, the relative time period, year‑to‑date last year, is January 1, 2010 to March 4, 2010.
