如何在 Google Data Studio 中创建“过去 3 个月”的时间段

Question

I'm trying to have my line chart show data for the past 3 months. GDS has a 'last quarter' date range, but this shows me Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4. What I need is the data for the past 3 full months (not counting the current month). I tried creating a calculated field but the documentation isn't proving very useful for the matter at hand.

eg. If the current date is Feb-20, I want to show data from 'Nov 1 - Jan 31'. Also need to compare to same period from last year.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I don't think this is possible in the way you're describing. You can achieve the same by creating a metric in your data source and then applying a filter at the page / chart / report level to remove data which doesn't meet your criteria

Answer 2

You can use the option "advanced" in the date dropdown and set the start date to today minus 3 months.

Answer 3

This still includes the current month. When you show data on a chart this way, it looks misleading because the beginning and current month on the chart will look smaller.
