singlemonth

Singlemonth is not a universally defined term. When encountered, it typically refers to either a single calendar month as a data interval or to a user interface state that presents information for one month at a time.

In data analysis and reporting, a single-month dataset or report contains observations limited to a single calendar month, e.g., all sales data for January 2024. It is used for month-over-month comparisons, baseline setting, or anomaly detection, but can be biased by seasonality and lacks year-to-date context.

In calendar applications and dashboards, a single-month view restricts the visible calendar to one month and allows navigation to adjacent months. This contrasts with multi-month or year views and may offer simplified navigation and focused planning.

In APIs and data schemas, granularity options sometimes include single-month as a distinct granularity or filter parameter; this usage is informal and depends on the provider.
