## Excluding Periods

Mixpanel can exclude incomplete or partial time-period data from a report, so trends and aggregates only reflect fully completed periods. This avoids misleading dips or spikes caused by data from a period that's still in progress, such as "today" or the current week or month.

Use the **Exclude** dropdown in the report toolbar to choose what to leave out:

- **Today** — excludes the current, in-progress day.
- **Current week** — excludes the in-progress week.
- **Current month** — excludes the in-progress month.
- **Current quarter** — excludes the in-progress quarter.
- **Incomplete periods** — excludes any partial period based on the chart's selected time unit. For example, an hour-based chart excludes the current hour because it's still incomplete.

The Exclude feature is available in all core reports.

If the analysis request included dates in the past five days and is sent from the mobile SDK, data may be delayed and therefore not included at the time of the analysis. Likewise, the date window selected might still fall under the conversion window, and more conversions have yet to come through.

Results are sorted by taking into consideration the property, the number of users in the report, as well as the deviation from overall conversion or retention behavior to surface the most meaningful segments to you.
