That’s a great idea! Having a filter save option on the events page would make it much easier to quickly access preferred settings without re-selecting filters every time. I’ve seen this implemented in a few community scripts and custom dashboards, and it definitely improves usability. If you’re interested in seeing how others handle user preferences and filter saving, check out https://redzhubscriptbloxfruit.com/ — they’ve got a lot of helpful examples and ideas for user-friendly UI features.
Yes — it’s absolutely possible, but it depends a bit on the BI/analytics tool you’re using. In general:
Cohorts are usually defined by the first time a user (or entity) does something (e.g., sign-up date, first purchase date).
To make them relative to a time period you select on the dashboard, you’ll need to filter or re-bucket the cohorts based on that selection.
How this works in practice
Define the cohort event → e.g., “user signup date.”
Apply the dashboard date filter → instead of calculating cohorts for all time, the query respects the dashboard’s selected range (e.g., Jan–Mar signups only).
Group by cohort → each user is bucketed into a cohort based on the event date (within the selected period).
Measure retention/behavior → plot how those cohorts behave over subsequent days/weeks/months, relative to their own start date.
Example
If your dashboard filter is March 2025, the cohort logic will only include users who first did the event in March 2025.
The retention curves (or whatever metric) will then be shown just for those March cohorts, not for February or earlier.
Tool-specific notes
Looker / Power BI / Tableau → Yes, you can parameterize the cohort start date relative to a dashboard date filter.
Mixpanel / Amplitude → They have built-in cohort + relative date filtering.
SQL → You’d use WHERE cohort_date BETWEEN <dashboard_start> AND <dashboard_end> before grouping by cohort.
👉 So the short answer: Yes, it’s possible—define your cohort on the chosen event date, and tie that to your dashboard’s date filter so cohorts shift relative to the selected period. @https://minecrftgeek.com/
