Change 52 weeks to 51, 52, 53, 54 weeks ago on Data Comparison / Compare To #21182

Open atom-box opened 1 year ago

Google has this feature (in Google Search Console).

Year-on-year is a good start but data analysts need context. So I think the proposed new feature is to allow looking back 12 months, 13 months, 14 months.

Also look back to this week last month, but also the week before that.

The original email from our user:

Question: What is the one thing you’d like to see improved in Matomo and why? Answer: I think it would be great if I had a "+2", i.e. 2 weeks or months more, when comparing weeks or months. Background: When I look at the current month, I would like a comparison to the same month last year (and the month before that). Currently, I can only choose 12 or 24 months - either way, that's "unfortunate." Either I see too little or too much (and that makes things confusing). The same applies to the weeks (only tightened up): Actually, I need the 54-week comparison, but I can only choose between 52 (too little) and 104 (too confusing).

The Google Search Console implemented this in a similar way.

I'm not familiar with this in the google search console, could someone add a screenshot/screenrecording so the preferred UX is very clear?
