Period variance mode allows you to compare time units within current and previous periods side by side, e.g. months of this year vs. months of last year. If this mode has been enabled for your site, it will become available once you select a dimension.

Example

In this example we want to look at a customer's spending for the current month, compared with the previous month. We want to see the sales figures and also view the variance as a percentage.

  1. From the 'Sales' database select 'Ship to' dimension and select a customer (in this example, we have selected 'Autograph AdvertisingIntercast'). Focus on that customer.
  2. Select Period > Current month. 
  3. Select Mode > Period variance, as shown below.

    The grid will update, as shown below, and you can now compare     Autograph AdvertisingIntercast's results for the current month (March 2015) June 2019 with the previous month (February 2015May 2019). The % variance between the months is displayed as a column.
