Define comparison period In this page you define the comparison period. If you have chosen
Year as main Time Period in step 4 above, this page is automatically
skipped.
Year
Make the comparison period the same period in the previous year, e.g.
same quarter last year.
Period
Make the comparison period the previous period, e.g. 2nd quarter
before 3rd quarter in a given year.
Dynamic Comparison Year
This option allows you to make the comparison year the largest
selected year preceding the base year. So, if you want to make comparison
between current year (e.g. 2006) and a non-consecutive year
(e.g. 2003), you may use this option and the select 2006 and 2003 in
the application. This option is only available when the basic comparison
period is year.
Column selection and presentation
In this page you choose which expression columns you want to
include in the chart and whether you want the wizard to set the chart
title.
Mark the checkbox Set Object Title if you want the wizard to set an
appropriate chart title.
The chart resulting from the wizard will always contain a column
showing the chart's base expression within the base period. In addition
to that you have a choice of up to three additional columns:
Include Comparison Period
Mark this check-box in order to add a column showing the chart's
base expression within the comparison period.
Include Change
Mark this check-box in order to add a column showing the absolute
difference between the chart's base expression within the base period
vs the comparison period.
Include Relative Change
Mark this check-box in order to add a column showing the relative
difference (percent change) between the chart's base expression within
the base period vs. the comparison period.
