The date and time range selected for a report helps to limit data and focus on what you want.

The date range and time zone for the report is available in the filter panel. You can edit it by clicking the calendar icon to open the date picker.

For your convenience, there are preset options available in the date picker.

📘
Reports that display only daily data have only the date picker available.

Default reports display with ranges.
For some reports you have the option to select your preferred time zone, which will be your default time zone view going forward. For more information, see Time zones.

Time zones

The time zone selector is part of the date picker for reporting. You have the option to select your preferred time zone, which becomes your default time zone view for that report going forward.

Because different date ranges provide different data granularity, in certain cases the time zone for your report defaults to a time zone other than your preferred one. Half-hour time zones are available for time periods depending on the report (some reports doesn't have half-hour time zones at all—for example, Daily Unique Visitors have UTC zone regardless of the date range selected). Once the date range is broader than that, such as weekly, the data is shown in hourly (or larger) data points that are not adjusted for 30-minute time zones. Similarly, monthly reports, which provide daily data, show UTC time only.

Data granularity

Data granularity depends on the date range you select for a report, and underlying data source.

Smaller date ranges render more granular data.

Daily reports display five-minute data.
Weekly reports display hourly data.
Monthly reports display daily 24-hour data.

Typically, data is available for the past three months, in addition to the available predefined date ranges.

Certain reports have specific granularity and data availability. For example, the SureRoute report is a near-real-time report that displays data for the last ten days only. Exceptions like this are called out in the help for those reports.
