Overview
Rolling date filters have been enhanced to allow users to include the current time period within rolling date selections.
For example, users can now filter data using options such as:
- Last 3 months including this month
- Last 12 weeks including this week
- Year to date including today
This makes date filtering more flexible for live reporting and ongoing performance analysis.

Users can now:
- Include the current period in rolling date filters
