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.

Figure 5-17 shows the relative time period options for a date item.
