How does date range and frequency work together?

Hubspot newbie here. In most dashboard reports you would have a date range and a frequency. How do they work together? What would be the the difference for example between date range = monthly, freq = daily vs date range = monthly, freq = monthly.

Hey Gio,

In Reports, Date Range refers to the period of time you want to analyse, and frequency tab shows how it will display: Do you want to analyse all the data that came in each day, or by week, or by month? 

Here's an example, a report with date range 1/1/2020 -> 1/31/2020, with frequency "Monthly" will show 12 data points, one for each Month within 2020. If you selected "Daily", you'll see 365 data  points- One for each day.  Here's one from my portal, with Date Range "Last 365 Days", with a Frequency of "Monthly:

Let me know if this makes sense!
