Using fiscal quarter in the MDA

Hello

I did some due diligence, looked in Community and Support, asked GS Support, so I think my understanding and request are good.

If you are reporting against a SFDC object, you have the option to add filters for "Current Calendar Quarter" or "Current Fiscal Quarter", which can be very different for some orgs. However, when targeting an MDA object for reporting, I can only do "Current Quarter", which shows CALENDAR YEAR only.

Can we add an option for Fiscal Year?

This is a very important feature for anyone who maintains a Fiscal Quarter different than Calendar Quarter. Essentially, it inhibits anyone to make any reporting on Quarter over Quarter completely impossible. Instead of solving for important but edge cases ( re: Dan's post 'For some organizations the fiscal year starts on the same day each calendar year, and for other organizations it shifts each calendar year'), can we try to solve for fundmantal use cases where Fiscal Year can be used? It severly limits our reporting on MDA objects such as Timeline, Survey 2.0, Scorecards and such.

Outplay. Outwit. Outlast.

2 years ago: “Fiscal functions (like Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter) are not supported in MDA as of now. This is a reporting ask and we have it on our roadmap to support that in the near future.”

Apparently not too near...
