Dashboard dates display incorrect years due to fiscal year settings [Linux]
In Sisense (2025.x, Cloud & On-Prem), dashboards may show dates that appear one year ahead when the Elasticube’s fiscal year start month is misconfigured. This article explains why this occurs and provides clear steps to correct the fiscal year settings so your dashboards display accurate dates.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Check your Elasticube fiscal year start month
- Open Sisense Admin or Elasticube Manager.
- Navigate to the Elasticube used by the affected dashboard.
- Locate the Fiscal Year Settings section.
2. Review the fiscal year start month
- Verify the month configured as the Fiscal Year Start Month.
- If set incorrectly (e.g., April instead of January), Sisense shifts dates into the next fiscal year, causing dashboards to display dates one year ahead.
3. Adjust the fiscal year start month
- If the setting is incorrect, change it to the correct start month (typically January, unless your organization uses a non-standard fiscal year).
- Save your changes.
Conclusion
Incorrect dashboard dates often result from misconfigured fiscal year settings in the Elasticube. By reviewing and updating the fiscal year start month and rebuilding the model, you can quickly restore accurate date displays across your dashboards.
