Is there a way to store a beast mode in a filter on a dashboard?

Is there a way to instead of having the beast mode in our cards for the guage multi value visual (Impressions, Web Page Visits, Visit Rate, etc.), have it in a filter that links to the cards in the campaign? Instead of having a static last 30 days vs previous 30 days, our client suggested that it would be great if there were other options e.g. 7 days vs previous 7 days. Maybe there is a better way do to do this and I would really appreciate the feedback.

We could obviously make another section that has the 7 day vs previous 7 days but thought this would be cleaner.

@jakebutterfield Have you tried using a variable control? You could set it up so users can enter a number of days, then use that variable input in your beast mode calculation.

That sounds like a good idea, I can start there. Thanks @MichelleH

@MichelleH It worked! All I did was replace the 30 with my variable, and 60 with my variable * 2 in my beast mode, added the variable control in the dashboard and was able to input any number of days I'd like to look at. Thanks again. So easy.

@jakebutterfield I'm glad it worked!
