Mike,

Those aren't dates, they are labels and aren't functioning to limit the 
time-series of the data included in the report. They function as 'names' 
of the period. Thus, 1/1/25 would be for the period beginning on that 
date. An alternative would be to use the names of the months, but since 
you can customize periods, that wouldn't always work. (you might use 5 
week periods, or quarterly, etc.)

There is no setting to specifically change this otherwise. If you really 
have a need to do so, the suggested method is to export to a spreadsheet 
app for further manipulation. You can do this via the export function 
and then open the resulting file in a spreadsheet (usually 'insert from 
file' will work, but you can open it directly) or copy-all/paste from 
the report window into a spreadsheet.

Regards,
Adrien
