# How to filter the Global Experience Dashboard

The [dashboard](https://docs.abtasty.com/dashboard/global-experience-dashboard-discovery) also allows you to filter **historical data metrics** by date.

To apply a filter, select any of the predefined periods from the top menu of your dashboard:

* Past 12 months: data from the past 12 completed months + current month as a result
* Past 6 months: data from the past 6 completed months + current month as a result
* Past 3 months: data from the past 3 completed months + current month as a result
* Past 30 days: data from the past 30 completed days + current day as a result
* Past 7 days: data from the past 7 completed days + current day as a result

### Example Usage <a href="#h_01hrycbfd1jn0es4cmfv8v99ng" id="h_01hrycbfd1jn0es4cmfv8v99ng"></a>

Let's say today is April 4th, 2024, and you want to analyze historical data for the past 3 months.

The Date Range will be automatically set to: January 1st, 2024 - April 4th, 2024 as it provides data from January 1st, 2024, up to April 4th, 2024. It encompasses the entire previous three-month period, including data up to the current date.

{% hint style="info" %}
The filter settings are saved in each AB Tasty user’s profile and will not affect other users within your organization.&#x20;

The date will also be automatically adjusted, making sure to always keep it to complete months, with the addition on the current month, to date.
