Period over Period Visual, YTD, 2 Day Delay with Current Date Data

Domomon

Hi all,

I'm leveraging the period over period charts and comparing the year to date progress with the progress from a year ago. Unfortunately, there's a two day delay in when the data comes in, and the historical period data isn't reacting to that. Is there a way to address that while still using the period over period functionality and not permanently filtering out that historical data? I know we can address this with the custom date columns/table schema, and we've done that before, but I'd love to take advantage of the native period over period functionality as our clients have grown fond of it.

Create a beast mode like this might work for you to exclude the prior year entries are excluded if they are from the 2 days that aren't yet in the current year data.

CASE WHEN DAYOFYEAR(yourdatefield) > DAYOFYEAR(DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 2 day)) THEN 'Exclude'

ELSE 'Include'

END

You would drag this beast mode into your filter and filter to Include.
