I have come across a few occasions where it would be great to have the following options in the relative date slicer:

- Quarter
- Financial Year

This would be a great addition to the already immensely useful slicer.

Is it really 6 years hard to add this?

Can't believe they wrote a brilliant realative date filter and diddn't include the ability for quarters or financial periods in general e.g. we could leave our financial reports on current period when that period doesn't align with calendar months.

Another upvote. I am working on a project where we are moving Tableau reports to Power BI, and it seems that I get a new gotcha every day from what you would expect to be functionality of any modern reporting tool. Especially one that is updated so frequently.

Every business runs quarterly reporting. How is this not included???

Relative date feature currently has options for days, week, month, year but not quater. And it would be really helpful to have this option as most company wide reports analysis require quaterly data. Thank you

The existing relative date slicer options are super useful, but i often find myself being asked why it doesn't include calendar quarter by users within my organisation. Is this being considered for future development? Presumably it would be a relatively easy addition to make.

I use relative date filtering frequently and am seeking an easier way to filter my data based on a quarterly view rather than having to used advanced filtering to set my quarter views. Additionally Quarters should be added as an option for grouping data into bins.

In Relative Date Slicer, we have Day, weeks, weeks(Calendar), Months, Months( Calendar), Years and Years (Calendar). Please Add Quarters, Quarters (Calendar) as well and Quarter for 'This' section.

I use relative date filtering frequently. Our organization frequently looks at data Quarter-over-Quarter. It would be great to be able to use Quarters in addition to days, weeks, months, years.

It is hard to believe this is not an included option. How do you build a time slicer as powerful as this and skip QTRs?
