5. In the Date Filters page, you need to specify what period of data you want to include in the custom report. You can either specify a fixed date range, so that the report always includes the same data, or else you can specify a variable date range, for example, for the last 6 months. When you select a variable date range, the data included in the custom report will vary depending on when the report is generated. Click Next to continue.
