Specific metrics in InvestingPro are denoted by a calendar symbol (as shown by the orange box in the image above). This indicates that you can customize these metrics by selecting a specific period for analysis.
By clicking on the calendar symbol, you can set a desired timeframe for the metric, allowing you to focus on specific historical data or project future trends.

In the customization process, you can modify the metrics and collect data from various time periods such as 30 days, a year, three months, 2 years, and more.
Additionally, if you have multiple portfolios, you can select a specific portfolio from your list and customize different date ranges for each of them.
Once you have tailored your portfolio to suit your preferences and included the desired data, you can conveniently download it in different formats.
