Amazon QuickSight now supports comparative (e.g., year-over-year) and cumulative (e.g., year-to-date) time period functions. These new functions allow QuickSight authors to quickly implement advanced date/time calculations without having to use complicated row offsets or pre-computed columns, allowing these calculations to be added in regular business reporting, trend analysis and time series analysis. For further details, visit here.

The new time period functions are available in Amazon QuickSight Standard and Enterprise Editions in all QuickSight regions - US East (Ohio),  US East (Virigina), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), South America (São Paulo), and AWS GovCloud (US-West).
