Hi,

Two request in regards to periods:

1. It would be wonderful if the standard “Month” selection included a “Next” (and “After Next”) in addition to “Most Recent”, like this:  

2. It would very useful, also, to allow for overlapping periods, such as the “12 Months Ended” one shown here:  

#1 allows for inclusion of forecasts to be included too, while #2 facilitates smoothing of financials that might be bouncing around from month to month.
