Sparkline Date Filtering

Creating the Date Filter

To prevent creating an overwhelming and strange looking Sparkline that includes a date field as one of its axis it is recommended to use the Date Filter panel.

You can either define a Standard range or a Custom range.

This uses a predefined range starting from whatever anchor point you select.

  • Time period - The time between each data point. This can either be Day, Week, Month, Quarter and Year.

  • Number of (Time period) - Defines how many instances of the time period chosen are selected in the axis.

  • Anchor point - Defines where to start creating time periods from. You can choose from the current day (Today), the most recent data point ( Latest Data ), or from a Specific Date

An example of a result of using the date filter is shown below: - Using a standard range based on 12 Quarters from the Latest data point:
