55% of users selected months when using the datepicker, while 18% selected the last month. The analysis of 8 months of data from over 35 time periods and 9 users found that users most often select full months or single months in the past. The document recommends designing easier ways to select months or consecutive months and making the "Last Month" option more prominent based on this usage data analysis of the datepicker.

logged in multiple times and used different options of datepicker
