It would be great if we could compare dates (WoW, YoY, etc.) in Analysis Workspace. Almost every person at my company who uses Analysis Workspace have asked for it.

We've posted two videos about the date comparison & aligning features on YouTube as additional references to the Help articles:

Can you attach a screenshot?

This is finally done. You can now compare with both dimension values and time ranges as your dimension down the left side, including the ability to align trend lines for comparison periods on the same graph.

Am I missing something? The comments say that the feature was released November 11, 2016 but i don't see it. How can i take advantage of this?

Hello,

 

Really excited about the date comparison feature! but I agree with @jake_winter. Date comp by Hour is needed. Any idea when that would be available @benjamingaines?

 

I noticed too that sub-relations don't pickup the conditional-formating for the Percent Change column. Cells should be formatted within the total of the higher-level dimension so the comparison is done amongst the children within the hierarchy. Perhaps in another tone of colors to differntiate from the higher livel. Here's an idea I found that asks for this:Conditional Formatting for Breakdowns in Analysis Workspace please vote!

The newly released compare functionality doesn't work at the Hour granularity. That's one of our biggest use cases to see how we are trending against same day last year.
