Document the Exclude (incomplete periods) control in reports

[claude]

Requested by Ross Gonsolvis · Slack thread

Before / After

Before: The report toolbar's Exclude dropdown — which drops still-in-progress time periods (today, current week/month/quarter, or any incomplete period for the chart's time unit) so partial data doesn't skew trends and aggregates — was entirely undocumented. The Date Range documentation even states that ranges include the current, incomplete day, giving readers no indication that this data could be excluded.

After: A new Excluding Incomplete Periods section in reports.mdx documents the Exclude control, explains why excluding partial periods avoids misleading dips and spikes, and lists each option (Today, Current week, Current month, Current quarter, Incomplete periods). It notes the feature is available across all core reports.

How

Added a new ## Excluding Incomplete Periods section to docs/reports.mdx, placed immediately after the Comparisons section and before Saving to a board. The heading level (##) and bold/list formatting match the surrounding sibling sections. This is a single-file, additive change.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The documentation-only change appears safe to merge.

The new section is additive, valid MDX, and clearly describes the Exclude control without disrupting existing documentation.
