Thanks for the great video. Just a question. Using this method, are you able to set the date to “previous period” for the copied table in the blend?Previous period being the same number of days before the selected date range in the report.
You can't reset the date without some additional work, unfortunately. If you do need to change the date on the fly, you could try using a parameter in Looker Studio for the date values. It's something we've played around with but haven't fully confirmed as an option yet.
Let us know in the comments below if you've used this technique and how it's helped with your reporting?👇

Glad it was helpful!
One question, when I want to filter based on the new metric I just created, it doesn't show me that metric as a filter.
Unfortunately you can't use a calculated metric from a blend in a filter -- that's a Looker Studio limitation.
