Using a Fiscal Calendar

Intro

Use the Fiscal Calendar setting to visualize KPI cards with your business's fiscal calendar. You can create custom visualizations that provide better insights based on the business's schedule rather than a standard calendar. 

How to Get a Fiscal Calendar in Domo

To turn on the fiscal calendar option, you:

• Must have a Professional level Domo license or higher.

• Need to contact Domo Support with the following information:

1.  Start Date of Fiscal Calendar (e.g. 01/15/2018).

2. When is the year of the Fiscal Year (e.g. If the fiscal start date is 4/1/2018, is that the beginning of the 2018 or 2019 fiscal year?).

3. The day of the week that each fiscal week begins (e.g. Sundays).

4. Whether months are calculated on a month boundary (e.g. Fiscal month always begins on the same day such as April 1, May 1, etc.) or on a week boundary (usually these are referred to as 4-4-5, 4-5-4, or 5-4-4 because those are the number of weeks in each month of a quarter).

If your fiscal calendar does not follow a consistent pattern, please reach out to Support and they will help you with what information to provide.

For more information on how to contact Support, see Technical Support.
