The Growth and DiffPastPeriod function with weeks does not work

The Growth and DiffPastPeriod function with weeks does not work for us in Sisense. Works with day, month, quarter and year.
+ Why do these functions count strangely if you select more than one day, month, quarter, year? For example: if I selected March+April, then the formula will compare with February+March, not January+February. If I choose 2 months, then I'm interested in comparison with the previous two months, and not just in comparison with the date moved by 1 month.

Hi,

Few comments:

  1. The Analytical Engine will show much better and expected behavior when analyzing Growth and DiffPastPeriod use cases - Sisense MS customers can join Beta from L22.5
  2. The combination of Weeks + Past period functions (for ex: pastyear) is not a trivial one - not all years contain the same number of weeks making it hard to support all use cases - but Sisense do aim to resolve them all (by EOY)
  3. The date range is not supported in Growth/Past Period Functions - for example, Growth(February+March) = Growth (February) + Growth(March) - Sisense does not calculate the growth from the beginning of February to the end of March, it calculates each month Growth separately and sums the results.
