Implement a "Current" Range type for Time Filters

What is the problem or goal the end user is trying to solve or accomplish?

A common use-case for time filtering is to look into current day, current week, current month, etc. There isn't a pre-defined filter for these options (such as it is available for previous week/month/year).

How are they solving it currently?

Users need to apply advanced time filter to achieve this goal.

What is the recommended solution by the Customer?

Implement a new category on the Range Type called Current to easily filter for:

  • Current day

  • Current week

  • Current month

  • Current year

      The workaround is to use the Advanced option, where you can specify the START date with something like:

      • datetrunc(datetime("today"), year))
        This will filter for the ‘current year’. You can change the year to week, month, or quarter to get the current time grain accordingly.

      • datetrunc(dateadd(datetime("today"), -2, month), month)
        Subtracts 2 months from the current date.
