Example of period stream mode
In this example we want to compare sales with orders for the last 3 months for a selection of customers.
- From the 'Sales' database select 'Ship to' dimension and select customers.
- Select Period > Last 3 months.
- Select Mode > Period stream, as shown below. An additional button will now appear to the right of the standard 'sales' stream button. In this example the additional stream 'orders' has been selected.
As shown below, the grid will display results for sales and orders, both as total and for each month. Variance is also displayed, as an amount and as a percentage.

mode columns in period stream modeWhen you are in period stream mode the column headings in the custom mode window show the 'grouping' title first, followed by the individual column title, separate by a 'pipe' character (in the screenshot below, an example is 'Total|Sales' in the first row in the window). Note that if you are changing the title for the 'grouping' you need to change it for all the columns that are in that group. |
