Define our Fiscal Year / Quarters

[Siddall]

We have a lot of very nice "This Quarter", "Last Quarter", "Next Quarter" filter functionality in HubSpot CRM....buuuuut, if your Company's Fiscal Year is not the same as the Calendar Year (as many are not), this "Quarter" filter functionality is not valid, and actually becomes misleading (or at best unneeded / unusable clutter in your filters).  You then must go to the "Custom Date Range" filtering functionality to obtain the correct date range.

It would be helpful and less misleading to have a Setting to define the organization's Fiscal Year.  Canned "Quarter" filters would fall inline correctly from there.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

Rolling date ranges is now available on all date-based filters within the custom report builder.

When editing a date field during report visualization, you'll also now have an option to change the frequency through the lens of a custom fiscal year. By default, this option is checked off, making you have to opt in if this is how you want your data organized. For those who have not set up a custom fiscal year in their settings, fiscal year will default to January - December.

It is worth noting that frequency is disabled when an aggregation is in play, so using fiscal year will also be disabled as well.

Although it is not yet supported, in the coming weeks, rolling date ranges will also be coming to the "Event timestamp" within the filters section, whenever there is an event being reported on.

As always, thank you all for your feedback, and we hope these updates make your reporting that much easier and customizable!

Hi everyone,

For clarification, this feature is available for all products and plans, however, our team is still working on making the feature available in reporting specifically. More information can be found on this product announcement. https://knowledge.hubspot.com/account/set-your-fiscal-year-in-hubspot

In the mean time, we appericiate your patience as we continue to build this feature out to work best for you. 

Thanks!

This feature is now live in Beta

This feature is currently being worked on. We will update this post to "In Beta" when it is open for customers to start participating.

Just to confirm this is only available to “Custom Report”? And not available to standard reports? (because I can’t see it is available in standard reports)

I just tested this out and it's strange - our fiscal quarter just started this month, so I set the range to last fiscal quarter and I get this?

Hey @ everyone on this thread!

This feature has now started rolling out across repoting functionality, not all of it, but it has been added to the custom reporting tool for rolling fiscal year based date ranges.

Fingers crossed it's coming soon to the other tools, such as forcasting, which would be a big plus.
 
You can watch a quick video on it here:

Really glad this is starting to become available, saves always having to update those date ranges manually 👌

Maybe I am doing something wrong but it does not solve the This Quarter issue.

Hubspot has made progress!!! This is great news:

As noted in the LinkedIn post above.. this is only available in the Custom Report Builder.

True but unfortuanly if you put the custom report in a dashboard and then use the dashboard filter functionality does not work.

So lets say you want to dashboard report on pipeline generation as a whole.  Then in your one on one with the rep you want to filter to just their pipeline generation - this does not work.  The only solution that I can find is to build a dashboard for each rep.

For the record - this works if you have a calendar year fiscal year and if you use the default reports.

Confirmed dashboard filter does not work. 

I'll take this win as an interim hack. I've got dozens (hundred+ ?) of fiscal reports to change dates on EVERY quarter and I'm very very much looking foward to cutting that down to a handful (and hopefully zero).

Glad to see the functionality in the custom report builder.   We need this as well.  This would be very helpful in the standard reporting and dashboard filers as well.
