Date Bucket
The Date Bucket allows you to dynamically change the time bucket used for the connected charts.
Create a Date Bucket
Click Add Control from the dashboard sidebar and select Date Bucket. A modal will pop up for you to customize your Control settings.
Rename the Control if desired, and select your default time bucket value.
Connect a Date Bucket to a chart
In the Visual SQL interface
Once you’ve created your Date Bucket Control, open a chart you’d like to connect to your Date Bucket. You’ll need a chart containing a date/datetime column.
Edit the Query containing the date/datetime column and open the column’s aggregation menu and select your Date Bucket Control.
Note: Quarter bucketing is not supported by Google Analytics.
