View budgets for a specific period only

Sometimes, you might want to focus on a specific time window within your budget to analyze your team or company spend more precisely. Spendesk lets you filter the budget view by period without affecting the underlying data.

For: Account Owners, Administrators, Controllers, Budget Owners, Cost Centre Owners/Viewers, and Sub-budget Viewers.

How to select a specific period

You can apply a period filter from two places:

  • The main Budgets overview page (applies to all budgets at once)

  • Inside a specific budget (applies only to that budget)

To change the period, use the period selector and choose one of the following options:

Overall

All spend across the entire budget period

Custom

A date range you define manually

Once selected, the view will update to show only the spend and committed amounts for that period.

Important things to know

  • Session only: Your period selection is temporary. It only applies during your current session and resets to the default view (current month) the next time you log in.

  • Data is not affected: Changing the view period does not modify the underlying budget data or affect budget exports. Exports always include data for the full budget period.

  • Committed vs. used spend: Both committed (approved but not yet paid) and used (paid) spend are filtered according to the selected period.
