Analysis Date Categories

Learn to aggregate results into defined time spans.

In analyses that use a date field as root category users can not only analyze data by the actual date value of a field but also aggregate the result into defined time spans. Example - Date(monthly).

Note: A drill-down inside a date category (e.g. show quarters if this year) is not possible.

UPDATE_DEFAULT contains the following explicit analysis categories for date segmentation:

DateMonthly, DateQuarterly, DateYearly.

The Web Configuration parameter Analysis.DateCategories defines which date segmentation options are available for users. For further details, see Analysis.DateCategories.

You can add custom date categories if required. For further details, see Defining Explicit Analysis Categories.

Specify dates using the format YYYYMMDD.

Use YYYY as placeholder for comparison values.

Use {YEAR} as placeholder for the year in the label text.
