Looking to compare the evolution of a specific KPI between two periods of time?

That's an easy task that you can perform in our widgets. You can have a different display according to the type used:

  • Line Chart: to have a clear & concise view

  • Data display: to get your hands into data

How does it work?

When selecting the period of time in a Line Chart or a Data Table, you'll need to go under "Time" and check the option "Compare to...". Doing so will give you 4 comparison possibilities:

1- Previous period: it will compare the current select period of time with the immediate previous period of time of the same size.

2- Previous month: it will compare the current selected period with the results you had the same days the month before.

3- Previous year: same behavior as with the option "Previous month" but this time the comparison will be with the results you had the same days last year.

4- Custom: you'll select manually the period of time that will be compared against your current selection of dates.

The full process is shown below:

You can select a maximum of 4 KPIs per widget when using comparisons on the Line Chart widget and more if you use the Data Table format.
