Current page-level filters allow us to look at relative months and years as simple "months" or "calendar months". "Calendar months" always excludes the current MTD, but that's exactly the range that I'm often looking for: Select data for whole prior months and MTD for the current month.

"Include Current" Option for Relative Date Filters with "Calendar" periods

Change "Last" year/month, etc relative date filter to include current YTD and full Prev. Year.

When doing a relative date filter, it should help users make easy YoY or YTD vs PYTD comparison. "Last" 2 years function seems unusable because it does not conform to general business requests.

Relative Date Slicer Improvement: This & Last

An improvement I'd like to see on the relative date slicer is the ability to select an option for "This and Last" xx "Years/Months/Days/etc". So if I want to compare at a glance a chart with this year's numbers with the last 2 it would be a lot easier.

Allow Relative Date filter to include today's date for "calendar months"

When you choose "last 12 calendar months" it would be useful to include the current month. It's frustrating that the end date is for last month and not today's date. Maybe don't hide the "Include today's date" option that appears for "last 12 Months". Or, add another option named "Include cu...
