What are custom date ranges?

Custom date ranges are like picking your favorite days to play with, you get to choose exactly which days you want to include.

Imagine you have a calendar that looks like a big chocolate bar, and each square is a day. A custom date range means you can pick any group of squares you want, not just the whole bar or one row. For example, if you're tracking how many times you ride your bike, you might say: "I want to see my biking days from Monday, May 6th to Friday, May 10th." That’s a custom date range because it's not the whole month or just one week, it's exactly the days you picked.

Why Use Them?

Sometimes you want to look at data for a special event, like a birthday party or a school project. A custom date range lets you zoom in on those exact days, so you can see what happened just during that time. It’s like using a magnifying glass, you get to focus on the part of the calendar that matters most to you.
