The range that you select is relative to the current month or quarter. For example, in January, you select January as your beginning month and April as the ending month. In February, the date range becomes February to May, and so on. Your date range selection remains until you choose another one.

1. Click the **Forecasts** tab.
2. If you’re using Lightning Experience, select the **Showing** dropdown. If you’re using Salesforce Classic, click **Change** in the rollup table.
3. Select a beginning and ending period.
4. Save your changes.
