Finalized Data or N-1 Filter for Report Components

Most reporting elements in Cloudability by default include the current day which under most circumstances is not representative of a full day of data. As a result, with graphs you typically see a decreased costs on the current day or current week or current month (etc). When comparing time ranges (Last week to this week) this week typically will show less cost since it is including today's date which hasn't fully populated. It would be ideal to have a "Finalized Data" checkbox so that a reporting element would only use dates that were fully populated and were more accurate for comparison purposes OR a method to choose time periods that automatically shift X number of days to only look at finalized data.

    Thank you for submitting this idea John! We are currently working on an option that allows more customization when configuring rolling date ranges. We hope to deploy this functionality to production in early July - I believe it should address the problem you're describing here. It will allow you to exclude the last one or two days in your widgets.
