Hello All,

 

Is there a way to reference previous quarters only once they are completed - ie with 3 full months of data?

 

I reference data by quarter on a dashboard but I don't want it to start recognizing a quarter until it has 3 month of data in it.

 

Dropping my data dimension into the filter and using relative dates will pull in a new quarter once I hit the subsequent month. My data loads in monthly on a lag of about 2 weeks into the following month.

 

Any ideas or advise would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

Darren

    Hey Darren,

     

    You could use a combination of COUNTD(Month(Date)) and throw that onto the filters in order to remove the incomplete quarter.

     

    Take a look at the attached workbook and see if that helps!

     

    For reference, W/O Filter contains the incomplete Q4 2018 data and With Filter removes the incomplete quarter.
