Yes, even without any hacking you can have 13 periods per year. How to achieve that will depend on your business case - if it's just a one-off, you can use a Scenario with a Range; if it's for the entire app, you can create a custom Time Dimension with the wizard, save it, then use it when creating the new app. You can find this in the guide if you search for "Time Dimensions".

Thanks, Jack, for sharing the info. How about 13th period? is it possible to add 13th period? or do we need to take similar approach to have UD dimension to park the data?
