Period stream mode allows you to compare two streams of data side by side, e.g., sales vs. budget, for selected date ranges (working a bit like a combination of Use Period mode and Use Stream mode). It displays selected current and 'previous; results, along with Variance and percentage variance columns.

Period stream mode is not always enabled, but if it has been enabled for your site you'll see it in the modes menu once you select a dimension.
