My workspace has too many records for Fibery Reports:

I want to let the end-user set the report filters, so to select a specific month to view (filter using a Date field)

But I cannot get that far - it seems the data _must_ be “pre-filtered” in the report’s initial creation, and only after this can the User-defined apply additional filters – but this can only further restrict the report data. ☹

**Is there no a way to create a Report for a large data set that allows the User to redefine the data filters for different periods?**
