When doing period over period aggregations in VA, missing values may be generated due to left censoring.  For example, if data runs from Jan 2014-Dec 2015, monthly period over period % change metrics will be missing for CY 2014 as CY 2013 is needed for the computation.  In this example, it would be very helpful if 2014 period over period % change metrics could be hidden from plots, charts, and xtabs (filtering does not work as the 2014 data is needed for the 2015 aggregations ).  

 

Thank you for your consideration.

Thank you for your idea! This functionality was added in VA 7.4 and 8.2. See related doc in VA 7.4, specifically this section: 

 

_IgnoreAllTimeFrameFilters_
ignores all filters that are based on the same date data item as the periodic operator.
