Dashboard Date Range

minithingsforlife

How does the Dashboard Date Range function work.
I cannot work out whether the To date is inclusive or not inclusive.
The graph underneath always seems to show a zero on the last day of the date range, suggesting it is including the day in the graph but not the data.

I can verify that it does not include the last date. It is to that day, not through that day.
I had some confusion with this myself, and had to do a little verifying. I think we naturally assume the word to means through not just to. It is that way on PayPal, and that is what I think most people are use to

Wait, so if one would want to check the sales data for one month, one would need to enter 1st of month X -> 1st of mounth Y (and not 31st of month X)? Seems illogical, but it might (partially) explain the discrepancies I'm getting between my downloaded months (placed in an XL sheet) and my year totals...

I would rather conclude that this was a bug and see it amended to be inclusive dates.
