The visualization options built into the Explore Data pages allow you to preview a dataset to ensure the data is relevant. You can make changes to your search, filter, data series selections, and/or customization options and quickly see how those changes affect your data. Once you are satisfied that you are capturing the data you want, you can then export the dataset.

If you have selected dates in the filter section, these visualizations will only contain data points with an associated period date within the specified date range. Data points within the selected data series with a period date outside of the specified date range will not be displayed.
