Data studio bug - predefined date range unable to change in view mode


Seems that I found a bug in DataStudio, unless it is a feature :)

When I created a report where I made default date range : e.g. last 28 days, Then when somebody or I want in view mode change the default date setting : e.g. last 7 days, it still show the predefined time scale. Any idea ?

here is link to my report https://datastudio.google.com/s/n2cH8uyFj9s

here is scr: enter image description here


Solution

  • It's because the Default Date Range in the chart is currently set to a Custom Date Range (Last 28 Days); this does the trick:

    1. Time Series Chart:
      • Set the Default Date Range to Auto
    2. Date Range Control:
      • In Edit Mode, set the Default Date Range to Last 28 Days
    3. (Optional) Filter Control
      • Add a Default Selection to the Country Filter Control, for example, US
