Date Override for widgets

June 2025 Updates: Parity with Global date picker

• Future dates can now be selected in every report regardless of data sources; earlier you had to reach out to us to enable this for a report

• Options to show values till Yesterday, Today, Complete Period

When you create a report, you choose a primary and comparison date range in the date selector to view corresponding results in the widgets. 

However, you might want to view a particular widget in a different date range. "Date override" feature can be used on that widget in such case. It overrides the date range of report with the one you choose for that widget.

Click on "Date Override" in a widget, choose the desired date range and click on apply to see the changes. 

Use cases :

In the above image, we can see a report containing three widgets. Now, the tiles are the ones in the top which don't have a date override.

But, table uses a date override to look at last week compared to the previous period. This type of usage allows for calling out a specific insight in the table, here WoW performance changes.

This modality can be used in many different scenarios

• Showing an insight only visible when looking at a longer timeframe, while leaving the report free-form

• Always-updated "This Month" or "This Quarter" pacing insights widget

• Tiled snapshots of different time periods

The calendar icon highlighted in blue with the date range next to it indicates that date override option is used on that widget.
