Adobe you are so far behind the game to your competitors with year over year reporting. How hard is it to show two datasets in one trend/report? This should be in all programs; sitecat, ad hoc, analysis workspace. From the basic metric of visits 2015 versus visits 2014; one snapshot, one graph, two trend lines. It is easy to look at and compare vs the painful download one chunk of data, now download the next chunk of data and graph yourself in excel. (Google Analytics and Coremetrics can do this and have been able to for years)

This should really apply to all time frames! Select your time frame A and time frame B and compare. Whether its week over week, month over month, year over year.

Fantastic! Thanks for the update, Ben! These new features have been great - I can't wait to see what else is next.

@Michelle: Completely understood. This exact thing will be coming on 19 January 2017.

The Fall Release updates were great, but we are still missing the ability to do things like year over year without having some sort of dimension, such as page. I want to compare overall site visits and visitors, by day, year over year. Ideally we could have two columns of dates in one table, such as Dec 1-Dec 31,2016 in one column, then the YoY comparison (adjusting for week day), Dec 3, 2015- Jan 2, 2016. Then calculate the change for this as well.

@jer It will be worth the wait. The reason we have waited until now is so we could make some core changes to the analytics platform, and thus be able to provide these comparisons in a more scalable fashion that users will appreciate. Really excited for this feature.

Moving to "In Progress" since this will be in private beta soon, still tracking toward an October release date. For everyone's information, this will only be available in Analysis Workspace as we continue to move toward that environment as the future of our UI.
