Assistant filtering with time entities

The Assistant now understands temporal expressions. You can ask the Assistant to filter based on time entities, such as year, month, season, date, time, and even holidays, to create more compelling visualizations.

Previously, any reference to time, such as a month or year, required the corresponding column to be present in the data set.

With time entity filters, you can add more focus and granularity to your visualizations. Here are a few examples of how you can filter with time entities:

Show sales this Thursday
Show sales between last Monday and last Wednesday
Show me sales for camping equipment from June 1-5
What is the total income between Halloween and Christmas
Show sales for 2021
Show October 2021 sales by product

Note: Filtering with time entities is currently only supported in English.

To filter based on time entities, the selected data set must have a Timestamp or Date/Time column.
