Why can't I look back farther than 4 month in my calander now?

[Donald28]

Hi fellow hosts. I have always enjoyed looking back at least 12 months to see how my current month is performing compared to the same month last year. All of a sudden, it seems that airbnb has decided that I only need to look back 4 months BUT they will let me look forward over 2 years... for some strange reason?!

Am I doing something wrong? I'd really like to look back on janyuary 2018 to see what my business was then but can't. 

HELP  thank you  www.oasisarcadeairbnb.com

@Donald28 Go back the four months. Then go back to thhe popup list, and you can go back another four months. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

You could also download the .csv which will give you data that is actually a bit more useful, such as number of reservations, number of guests, number of nights, and amount paid. You can then, in a spreadsheet, do some real analysis to compare months, quarters and/or years.

I just tried that and WOW... that's annoying! Why can't we just scroll back 12 months like we used to be able to do? Now we can only go back 4 months at a time? What benefit could airbnb possibly have gained by making it more difficult for me to access this information? Why did they do that?! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Did you notice they allow you to look forward to 2021 in your calendar?! What good is that? No one books 2 years out.

Another thing... if I go to PROGRESS and then EARNINGS because I want to look back 12 months to see how much money I made 1 year ago in the same month, they don't allow it. It will only allow me to go back 11 months. So, If I want to know how much I made in january 2018... I can't easily see it now?

Yes, you can see everything.  Look just below the graph and  you'll see years.  Click on any of those years and you'll see your total earnings.  Then go down and click on "View Transaction History."  Once you're in Transaction History, you can look at any year or month for more details.  You can choose to look at January 2018 or all of 2018, or a 3-month period in any year, or your entire history of transactions.

Alternatively, under "Reservations," you can choose to look at "Upcoming" or "All."  Once you've chosen "All," you can filter by date.
