Filter reports on your dashboard

The data a report displays depend on its filters. For better analysis, you should filter the data to a specific date range, specific owners or teams, or specific pipelines. You can filter all reports on a dashboard or filter individual reports.

Please note: These dashboard filters do not work with:

- Reports created with the custom builder. 
- Attribution reports
- Custom objects.
- The Manual forecast, Quota attainment, Weighted pipeline forecast, and Deal revenue by size sales analytics reports. Filters applied to the dashboard will override any filters set on individual reports in the dashboard.

The date range set in a dashboard filter will also apply to any date property in the individual report's filter. If you select a Weekly frequency, reports relating to the CRM (e.g., contacts, companies, deals, tickets) will start the weeks on Monday, while reports relating to analytics (e.g., traffic analytics, page analytics) will start the weeks on Sunday.
